Re: [Origami] german translation (or visual help) needed
There is no reference point for this fold. It just says to fold the corners in a little bit.

Re: [Origami] Origami sighting
"This artist takes photographs of people, prints multiple copies, then uses the prints to make modular origami" Maybe this artist is pointing out the many side of character the mere photo often does not capture. Interesting For 10 years now I have taken photos to make commemorative Froebelian modular origami ornaments and have kaleidscopically adapted photos and paintings to create papers for same and for my Kirigami lamps. It can work beautifully.

I've posted a flickr of a step of a diagram by Carmen Spring for "Franzisca's Star": http://www.flickr.com/photos/fncll/8567603396/ The Google Translate version isn't helping me...my question is: what is the landmark for the mountain folds shown? Any help appreciated... c -- Chris Lott

[Origami] Origami sighting
More origami art: This artist takes photographs of people, prints multiple copies, then uses the prints to make modular origami. She then sticks the modular on top of the original portrait and photographs the whole business again. Decide for yourself how beautiful and artistic it all is: http://io9.com/portraits-of-people-with-origami-faces-are-beautiful-an-455514435 or http://j.mp/132Q4dh Something about this brings to mind the Oozlum bird.

Re: [Origami] Fold and unfold arrow?
I had asked: "Does it make a difference in what side do I place the head and tail of that arrow regarding the folding line?" Anna answered, "The arrow should start and end on the part that actually has to be folded over". I now ask all of you, does everyone else agree with Anna? It makes sense to me, but I had asked a friend to revise some diagrams, it had the arrows just like Anna is describing them, but my friend suggested to turn the arrows around. That's why I decided to ask the majority here just to be sure about what's the right way. Who seconds Anna's motion? ; )
[Origami] Folding a cup cake
Does anyone have a “trick” to a less tedious way to folding a baking cup (cup cake paper) Thanks Dianne

2013/3/17 Gerardo asked: > Does it make a difference in what side do I place the head and tail of that > arrow regarding the folding line? The arrow should start and end on the part that actually has to be folded over. You basically follow the directions of the arrow with your fold movements or vice versa if you draw diagrams. Nice Greetings Anna
