On August 8 Ekaterina Lukasheva answered my message. She shared her opinion regarding my question: if a traditional base + one fold could be considered an original model? Thank you Ekaterina for your answer : )
Sorry for taking so long to answer back... you mentioned: "I don't really understand why claiming it an original model is so important to you". For me it's the difference between claiming authorship over a model and for it to be unclaimable. Maybe the general consensus is that a traditional model + one fold is almost the same as the base, and thus, their both unclaimable. Or maybe the general consensus is that one fold is enough to transform a traditional model into an original model, allowing me to declare it my work and kindly asking others to acknowledge it. That might be what I most enjoy about origami, coming up with original creations which I call my own. In a very loose sense I consider them my babies. Know what I mean? That's why I keep a list of them all, but I don't know what to do about this traditional base + one fold. Other origamists may not share my way of thinking but I hope they can respect it anyway : ) Thanks again for your answer. If anyone else wants to share their opinion, I'd be really interested in reading it. PS: What I made has a practical purpose. It isn't figurative.
