Re: [Origami] How many follow the rules of origami trading card swaps?

[leslie cefali via Origami]

I noticed that the origami pin swap morphed into a general swap of origami. 
Many still make pins, but other things are also part of the swap now. Maybe the 
trading card swap did the same. Or maybe some of the other shaped pieces were 
traded at the “pin” swap.

It seems that the orgami folks are accepting of swapping origami of all kinds.
I see that as a good thing.

Re: [Origami] designer of a Flexagon made with single sheet of paper

[leslie cefali]

Arthur Stone discovered them and played with them in the late 1930s along with 
his math friends and math colleagues, Richard P. Feynman, Bryant Tuckerman, 
 John W. Tukey, when they were students at Princeton. 

Martin Gardner made them popular with his articles in Scientific American 
articles, in the 40s and later with his books.

More recently Les Pook, Ann Swartz, and Scott Sherman have written and shared 
information about them.

People have played and created many, many flexagons...of different shapes, 
number of flexes, faces, and ways to move through them, for years.  

It seems there are endless variations...no pun intended (well, ok, maybe I did 
intend it).

It is a variation of the Sonobe unit. 
The unit itself can be used in many modular models. From 2 to well over 100 
units.
Mitsunobu Sonobe is usually the one given credit for its origin, but Wikipedia 
states...”The origin of the Sonobe module is unknown. Two possible creators are 
Toshie Takahama and Mitsunobu Sonobe, who published several books together and 
both members of Sosaku Origami Group 67.”

It is a great variant of the original modular unit.

Andrea,
Can you provide a link for that paper. A google search and a search on

There are many things for bright and for 80 lb...but nothing elite. 
I would think general 80 lb card or photo paper may be too thick for these

[Origami] Heads up - Staples memo cube

[leslie cefali]

I just made my annual memo cube run to Staples.  It is on sale for $3.50,  
though I have not seen a published sale ad.

Beware..it is not of the same quality as in previous years.  The first thing I 
noticed is that the paper does not fill the (wasteful) plastic cube.  Made me 
suspicious. I figured the weight must have changed.  

Yes, the paper is thinner, the cut is rough and it feels of a lesser quality.
If you were fans of previous year’s memo pads, just a heads up that they have 
changed.

Sadly, I will be returning my purchase.

If all A sized paper is proportionally the same, why couldn’t you fold any 
model that calls for A-Sized paper?  It would be the same as folding models 
from different sized squares. The model would only vary in size whether it was 
folded from A-8, or A-5...or any A sizes larger or smaller. Right?

You can often find neon paper at office supplies stores and sometimes in the 
craft or office areas at big box discount stores.  Often they are in the same 
area as you would find poster board.  The packets of neon paper I am thinking 
about are neon pink, yellow, orange or lime green on one side and white on the 
other.

There is also a fadeless art paper that comes in 12"x18" sheets in packets of a 
variety of colors, but white on the opposite side.  I have the best luck 
finding it at teacher stores.  It is the same fadeless paper that comes in 
rolls to cover bulletin boards...and it truly is fadeless.

Both these need to be cut into squares, as they come in rectangular sheets and 
are a bit thicker than kami, but not as thick as construction paper.

This depends on the publisher and the contract between author and publisher.
I was able to keep copyrights to a book I wrote several years ago after 
negotiating with the publisher. Sometimes the copyright doesn't go to author 
right away, but after a couple years or after it does out of print...or 
sometimes they do get to keep it upon publication.

It all depends on how it is worked out.

90 lb is cardstock.

model

together it is not origami.  I laughed out loud ...


Oddly (or amusingly??) I have to agree with your artist. To me a  
modular design is one that is self-integrating. If you glue it  
together then this essential element of what modular means (in  
origami) is lost. Technically I would then consider it a glued multi- 
piece arrangement rather than a modular assembly.





You have only quoted a part of what I believe John was trying to say.
I think John's point is  that a folder he was talking to said one  
should not use glue when doing origami yet he/she was using a mixture  
of  methyl cellulose on a model.   Methyl cel is paste.


I have, too,  have chuckled at this contradiction.

Hi all,
Does anybody have experience / have been at the Morgan Conservatory  
in Cleveland? They specialize in workshops related with paper,  
papermaking, etc. They will offer a 4-days workshop in June and I am  
considering applying.

The instructors are Amanda Degener and Deborah Hower.
Any information whether it's worth going, quality of the  
instructors, etc. will be greatly appreciated (it's quite expensive  
to me, so better be good if I participate!)

Here is the link to the workshop:

Thanks!

The Morgen has a great reputation;  Amanda is a well known paper  
maker, and Deborah Howe is a well respected book conservator.   Both  
very active in their prospective fields.

It should be a wonderful workshop.
