Greetings from the 50th anniversary BOS convention! I'm having a great time here, but luckily found some time to send you an update on which new videos are available on my YouTube channel. Who else is awake at 4 a.m., after all? :)
1. Tutorial: Harp Seal Pup (Quentin Trollip) I was very pleased to hear about Quentin Trollip's new book "Origami Works of Quentin Trollip" ( http://www.happyfolding.com/book-trollip-origami_works_of_quentin_trollip ), as I deeply appreciate his wonderful work. I was even more excited when Quentin and the publishers from Origami House graciously granted me permission to present one model from this fantastic book. Thank you! It was hard to pick a model from the multitude of fantastic animal designs, but in the end I fell in love with this cute harp seal pup, which you may have already admired on Quentin's Flickr stream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/12043525@N04/12884747754 Picture of my fold: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-trollip-harp_pup_seal Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-trollip-harp_seal_pup Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wbdhUSeivpc If you don't have the book yet, I hope you enjoy this small sneak peek. And especially if you like folding origami animals, in my opinion "Origami Works of Quentin Trollip" is a must-have! 2. Tutorial: Snail (Shiri Daniel) In my continued effort to revisit models I presented when I started my channel, I'm happy to also share a new tutorial for a wonderful, 3-dimensional snail designed by Shiri Daniel. Picture of my fold: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-daniel-snail_2 Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-daniel-snail Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5Kv4Ywmcyng You can also download diagrams at http://www.happyfolding.com/files/Daniel-Snail.pdf Plus, if you have a way of contacting Shiri Daniel, you would do me a great service if you could help me out reconnect. While we corresponded some time back, my recent efforts to find her new email address have failed. I would love to share with her this updated video. And for a blast from the past, you can of course also check out my old tutorial: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-daniel-snail-2007 or https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5C6471D14E18BB8C I hope you agree the new video is just a tad bit better. 3. Time lapse and ASMR video: High Density Hydrangea Tiles by Shuzo Fujimoto and Peter Budai I had already previously folded the high density tiling of Shuzo Fujimoto's hydrangea in the past, but those were first 4 tiles ( http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-fujimoto-hydrangea_tiling ) and then 6 tiles ( http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-fujimoto-hydrangea_tiling_2 ). In August, I decided to fold 9 tiles and recorded myself while doing so. One sheet of 40cm Origamido paper ( http://www.happyfolding.com/paper-review_origamido ) and 4 hours later, this was the result: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-fujimoto-9_hydrangea_tiles And here are the related videos: Time-lapse (4 minutes): Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/animation-fujimoto_budai-high_density_hydrangea_tiles Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/20swjKGz91s ASMR (4 hours): Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/asmr-fujimoto_budai-high_density_hydrangea_tiles Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oAq6ILDcdpY Incidentally, I also have an older time-lapse of when I folded the tiling with 6 molecules: Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/animation-fujimoto-tiled_hydrangea Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oWXpCZl8-bM Plus, in case these videos have whet your appetite to fold the hydrangea again, here's a quick pointer to my tutorial on how to fold the basic hydrangea: Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-fujimoto-hydrangea Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zu5F0Hmd3ZA A guide on how to tile this design is available in Peter Budai's fantastic guide: http://dev.origami.org/images_pdf/patternedtiles.pdf Have fun watching the videos and if you're at the BOS convention, too, see you in a couple of hours. :) -- Sara
