[Origami] Origami exhibition in Singapore
An origami exhibition called Origami : From Traditional to Modern was held in Singapore for about 3 months. A special showcase featured the models designed by local designers. I've just written a blogpost about it and you can read more about it and see some photos here: http://singaporeorigamiguy.wordpress.com/2013/12/31/origami-from-traditional-to-modern/ Regards Tiong Boon
Re: [Origami] whose modular ring/star is this?
On Dec 28, 2013, at 14:06, V A va2...@yahoo.com wrote: I found an 8-pc modular ring/star in a box (w no reference to model name or creator name). I reverse-engineered it to figure out how it was folded. It's a pretty little star, best made w colorful printed 2 sq paper. snip a short follow-up to my question above: What I referred to as 'Spiky Star' is a model by Paolo Bascetta it's called 'Stella 3'... more-better ;) is that diagrams to it are available in Paolo's wonderful book 'Origami 51 Modelli' on page 58-59!! Here's to lots more folding in the new year... :) Vishakha India
Re: [Origami] Cataloguing origami gift wrapping techniques
I was thinking, there are three characteristics origami gift wrapping have that makes it different from a self-closing boxes. In origami gift wrapping: -the folding can easily be adapted to the particular dimensions of the gift. -the folding process must include the very gift. -when unwrapping the gift you end up with the paper unfolded as well. Mark Bolitho showed in his last reply a video with different origami packages. I loved them! I so wished I would receive a fest like that. You folded those packages? I'm really interested in understanding what is the band method, could you please explain it? Cheers.
Re: [Origami] Practigami: Neorigami's first printed book
Rob Hudson mentioned in his last reply that the printed book would be too expensive for him. I wanna tell everyone I'm sorry. During this week I've discovered that the print on demand company I chose offer very abusive shipping costs to other countries. I had no idea since there's an office in my own city; that was exactly why I had chosen that company, because having them close gave me some confidence. I will look for the best solution in order to offer better prices to those interested in the book. Thank you for understanding. I didn't lie when I said it was Neorigami's first book (as well as mine) and that I'm not a real editor, so all this is new to me and I'm just learning from my mistakes. When this is over you'll have a book full of cool diagrams for completely original and out of the ordinary useful models. Happy 2014! Ja
