Re: [Origami] Variations on a Classic -- Waterbomb variations
Hi, Dawn6/5/2018 My model, Pin-Less Pinwheel, diagrammed in OUSA Convention Book 1988.Page 243, was inspired by the Blow-up Rabbit, so I count it as a cousin of the Waterbomb. The short directions: Make rabbit-ear folds on each flap of the Waterbomb base. Crease the open end firmly horizontally as high up as comfortable. Blow into the hole to inflate the model. The result is a pyramid with 4 vanes. Put a pencil in the hole, blow, and watch the Pinwheel spin. If you use a straw instead of a pencil, blow into the straw and send the Pinwheel flying into the air. I must have posted something about this to the list long ago -- in an email file from 2002, I find this lovely message from the late Dorothy Kaplan: Dottie wrote: > I just folded the waterbomb base the regular waystuck it on a barbecue > stick from the hole up to the closed pointsort of spread out the > four sides of the waterbomb North East West and South without blowing it up > and blew.

[Origami] Variations on a Classic
Although I thanked you all in advance, I must thank you again! I appreciate all of the suggestions for my quest to find inflatable models based on the water bomb. I have enjoyed tracking down your leads and folding new origami. We have a wonderfully generous community! Dawn Tucker,O'Fallon, MO

See http://www.origamiheaven.com/adaptations.htm I can't recall if someone has already mentioned the traditional kettle (in which you can allegedly boil water on a candle). Dave
Re: [Origami] Variations on a classic
Dawn Tucker asked for inflatable variations on the water bomb model. I'm not familiar with most of the ones she listed, but I note that the Golden Snitch is not on her list. Also the Inflatable Cat that Kathleen Sheridan taught for Origami Connect. MaryD

[Origami] Variations on a classic
I'm looking for inflatable variations on the water bomb model. I have the rabbit, goldfish, stellated octahedron, chick, and snail with water bomb shell. (Jeremy Shafer's heart model inflates, but has a different folding sequence.) I know I've seen at least one other, but I can't remember what it was. What else is just a little different from the water bomb, and is also inflated to complete? Thanks in advance! I always appreciate your help! Dawn Tucker,O'Fallon, MO
