[Origami] Vase with a diagonal shift

2013-09-30 Thread Gieseking, Rebecca L 
I recently designed a curved-crease pleated vase with a diagonal shift design 
element. As far as I can tell, this is a unique design, but I would love to 
hear if anyone has seen anything like this before.

[Origami] Michael Shall's lost Christmas Tree video

2013-09-30 Thread Ramsay Cowlishaw 
A long, long time ago, back when I was a member of FOCA (showing how long ago 
that was!), I was able to borrow from the lending library a video tape of 
Michael Shall demonstrating how to make origami models into ornaments for a 
Christmas tree. I'm curious as to whether that video has ever been converted to 
digital format, and if so, why the heck isn't it accessible somewhere?

Just sayin'.

[Origami] Asking for help to contact someone

2013-09-30 Thread Marc Cooman 
Dear(s),

 

For years I have corresponded with Ariel Arumburu from Sweden. He was (is)
an enthousiastic origamist, just as I am. Before he had an e-mail address
ar...@dataphone.se , but that seems to be no longer in use. I tried to
contact the Swedish origami society through their website, but their e-mail
address bounces too. Any help would be very welcome.

[Origami] Origami history sighting -- analysis of letter folds, from creases 19th century Philadelphia Fwd: [hist-book] Penn Manuscript Collective

2013-09-30 Thread Karen Reeds 
 Nicole Williams and John Baranik, two undergraduates studying the history
of the book and publishing at University of Pennsylvania,  have provided a
fascinating analysis of the ways letters were folded for writing, mailing,
and filing in early 19th century Philadelphia.

See their Anatomy of a Letter, parts 1, 2, 3.

If you like crease patterns, start by searching on: Superscription on
letter from George E. Blake to John Rowe Parker, March 28, 1818 (Anatomy of
a Letter, Part 3), and try reconstructing the folds from their photo.

[Origami] Fold Walk Fly

2013-09-30 Thread Etienne Cliquet 
Dear folders,

I've experimented several origami designs of walkalong gliders with folded foam 
sheets this summer during a residency in Brussels. The project is called Fold 
Walk Fly. Here is a documentation :
