Re: [Origami] Fold and unfold arrow?

2013-03-17 Thread Anna
2013/3/17 Gerardo asked:
 Does it make a difference in what side do I place the head and tail of that
 arrow regarding the folding line?

The arrow should start and end on the part that actually has to be
folded over. You basically follow the directions of the arrow with
your fold movements or vice versa if you draw diagrams.

Does anyone have a “trick” to a less tedious way to folding
a baking cup (cup cake paper)
Thanks

I had asked: Does it make a difference in what side do I place the head
and tail of that arrow regarding the folding line?

Anna answered, The arrow should start and end on the part that actually
has to be folded over.

I now ask all of you, does everyone else agree with Anna? It makes sense to
me, but I had asked a friend to revise some diagrams, it had the arrows
just like Anna is describing them, but my friend suggested to turn the
arrows around. That's why I decided to ask the majority here just to be
sure about what's the right way.

Who seconds Anna's motion? ; )

I do...putting the arrows opposite doesn't make much sense to me at all!

[Origami] Origami sighting

2013-03-17 Thread Scott Cramer
More origami art: This artist takes photographs of people, prints
multiple copies, then uses the prints to make modular origami. She then
sticks the modular on top of the original portrait and photographs the
whole business again.  Decide for yourself how beautiful and artistic it
all is:

or

Something about this brings to mind the Oozlum bird.

Scott, who thinks that whirring sound must be Ansel Adams spinning in
his grave.

I've ended up with a couple of extra books that I want to give away. I
offer each completely free of charge to the first two people who want
them and are willing to pay it forward (PIF) by passing on a book or
something themselves. Your PIF is on the honor system :)

1. _Outside the Box Origami_ by Scott Wasserman Stern (review:

2. _Origami Card Craft_ by Karen Thomas (Amazon info: http://clinki.es/go/R6)

Thanks!

Maybe this artist is pointing out the many side of character the mere photo 
often does not capture. Interesting
For 10 years now I have taken photos to make commemorative Froebelian 
modular
origami ornaments and have kaleidscopically adapted photos and paintings to 
create papers for same and

for my Kirigami lamps. It can work beautifully.

Got excited and I didn't check the 'to' field.  
origami penance - finally unpacking two totes from teaching last Monday with 
the Chinese Student Association at Bradley University.
