[Origami] Origami star sighting

[Peter Mielke]

I was watching the New Year's Eve concert from the Thomas Church in Leipzig
https://fb.watch/2K0iO3_KIh/ and at 59:08 they show what appears to me to
be 3 origami stars hanging from a Christmas tree.

They look a bit like David Mitchell's Electra model, but I'm not sure. Does
anyone know what they might be?

[Origami] Slight origami mention

[Peter Mielke]

The article is primarily about the world's largest Pysanka (Ukrainian
Easter egg), but in the video in the article it mentions Ron Resch (with a
mention of origami) and his participation in the project.

[Origami] Origami sighting (The Carbonaro Effect- Instant Origami Spray)

[Peter Mielke]

Came across this video in my feed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIdCjq3Y448

IMHO the spray is just added for effect. The cloth is probably precreased
and then simply goes back into the bird base.

Thoughts?

Re: [Origami] Real problems we could solve with folded paper?

[Peter Mielke]

- the creation of containers on the fly (i'm thinking of the Japanese
medicine envelopes for example)
- the wrapping of letters/envelopes
- I believe there is a simple way of binding a few pages together with an
origami fold
- name plate stand at a conference
