Hi everyone, as it's the first Saturday of August, it's time for another instructional video of mine. Or, indeed, two! As my main instructional video is on the tessellation "Five-and-Four" by Eric Gjerde, which works on a square grid, I decided to also make a video with some tips on how to fold a square grid. While it's surely not the only way, the video includes some tips I hope you'll find helpful.

Do also check out his websitehttp://www.origamitessellations.com/which is an excellent resource for tessellations - including this page where Eric explains how he likes to fold grids:http://www.origamitessellations.com/2013/02/how-to-pre-creasing/Incidentally, it's quite similar to what I demonstrate in the video. The second video in my new series "Your Origami Folds" where I show photos of models you sent me is also online. It features your folds of "Sparaxis" by Ekaterina Lukasheva.
