Zanders is the only company that makes elephanthide. And their current production consists of black, white, three greys, and two browns. Anyone selling the other colours is selling old stock. -- Joseph Wu, Origami Artist (via iPhone) e: josep...@origami.as w: http://www.origami.as flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/josephwuorigami/ facebook: http://www.facebook.com/joseph.wu.origami

It comes in some of the colors that are no longer generally available (Crimson, Dark Green, Mauve) that The Source does not carry 2. The sheets are twice as large as the ones The Source has. 27 1/5" x 39 3/8" (roughly B1) vs 19.5” x 27.5” (roughly B2) The size is particularly important for folding models like the Flasher Hat which require the larger paper. malachi

It might not be what you are looking for. *Tung Ken Lam's Project: It has not been updated since 2006. I am looking forward to any new enhancement http://www.angelfire.com/or3/tklorigami0/ * Tomohiro Tachi's Page: I have not followed his new development for years. Check out his page for further information. http://www.tsg.ne.jp/TT/software/ http://www.curvedfolding.com/page/rigid-origami-simulator-by John Szinger's Foldinator: http://zingman.com/origami/foldinator3OSMEpaper.php I don't know the current status. John might be able to shed some light on the progress. Personally I did have similar interest to develop something alike. Unfortunately my priority of actual folding and designing is always higher. I also did a quick google search and found this link http://origamisim.blogspot.com/ According to the description, the simulation includes the physical property and memory. It would be nice to see any further development. Talking about virtual folding, it would be cool to interface with the new state-of-the-art sensor like Kinect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect) or Leap Motion. (https://www.leapmotion.com/) . Again, I need to adjust my origami priority for that. Sy
[Origami] Folding Sunday - NYC, USA: Museum of Natural History
Folding Sunday - NYC, USA: Museum of Natural History (Formerly Folding-Free-For-All) Any OrigamiUSA members in or visiting the New York City area on the 4th Sunday Origami Sunday will be held this Sunday (April 28 , 2013) in Children's Lunchrooms in the basement of the Museum of Natural History. This is the room reserved for the fourth Sunday meetings until the end of the year. Any OrigamiUSA members in or visiting the New York City area on the 4th Sunday of each month are welcome to join our monthly folding meetings at the American Museum of Natural History from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Please bring folding paper plus something to share. It's especially appreciated if you bring a model to teach, but if you're not comfortable teaching yet please bring something else to contribute such as a model to show that you've been enjoying folding, an origami book or newsletter others might find of interest, or paper for the group. We will have a special sharing table" set aside for display of models to teach, models to show, books, publications, and paper contributions. These monthly meetings are a continuation of the tradition Lillian Oppenheimer began over 50 years ago of encouraging paperfolders to get together to teach each other and exchange ideas. OrigamiUSA is able to provide a meeting space - the rest is up to those attending. When you arrive at the museum please check at any information desk for the meeting room number. The folding sessions are similar to the informal folding at convention. For more formal classes, check out the information on the Spring Special Fun Sessions: http://www.origami-usa.org/specialsessions . The remaining date is May 19, 2013
Re: [Origami] Origami Software?
Does anyone know of any type of software that allows you to virtually fold a sheet of paper? I've spent hours searching for one, but I never found what I was looking for. With the technology that we have today, it certainly seems possible. In fact, I even found an origami game online called "folds," but it does not allow anything more than valley folds. So, again, if anyone knows of such a software , please let me know. Thank You,Devon H. (Also, it would preferably need to run on Windows 7.) You can animate all folding sequence by Macromedia Flash. The contents of origami-club are also made by Flash, but I think it is stop-motion style. This is what I mean made by Flash. http://study.jr.naver.com/babystudy/subject/view.nhn?contentsNo=3189 jassu from Korea -- Macromedia Flash is available here http://macromedia-flash-8.soft32.com/
