Hi everyone, here's some fresh content from my side:
1. New video on Spinning Top designed by Manpei Arai In 2008 I made an instructional video on Manpei Arai's fantastic spinning top. Since then I believe I learned a thing or two about producing higher quality video, and I also upgraded my equipment. The spinning top remains a superb and especially fun model, so I decided to make a new video on how to fold it. Here's where you can enjoy it: Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-arai-spinning_top Video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SnzKIwtzMQ In a happy coincidence, Michael Sanders uploaded a video showing in detail how he folds the handle for the spinning top: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzUM8KmX9CU By the way, over time I hope to redo more of my old videos, as many of them are of very low quality. However, it will take time. If you have some all-time favorite models I already presented in a video, but early on (a couple of years ago), do let me know. If a model is mentioned particularly often, it might give me that extra spur of motivation to do a new video. :) 2. Book Review on "Origami for All" by Ioana Stoian I wrote an article summarizing my impressions of Ioana Stoian's first book, "Origami for All". Read the article in TheFold: http://origamiusa.org/thefold/article/review-origami-all-ioana-stoian Some additional information on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/book-stoian-origami_for_all Official website of "Origami for All": http://www.origamiforall.com/models/ 3. Paper Review by Ilan Garibi and Gadi Vishne Ilan and Gadi reviewed "Sato Gami" this time round. Find out what they thought, and view beautiful folds from this paper, which - I'll give away this much - got really good ratings! happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/paper-review_sato_gami TheFold: http://origamiusa.org/thefold/article/paper-review-16-sato-gami Best wishes and, as always, happy folding! -- Sara
