Re: [Origami] Eric Joisel Dwarf Tutorials
Hello all, in my last email I send links to my Eric Joisel tutorials. Now I got the question if I infringe the copyright. I thought I don't but now I'm not sure. So I liked to ask it here. According to my knowledge Eric Joisel published the diagrams for his dwarf and rat in the french internet forum some years ago. I wanted to add my video tutorials because I saw there where many folders who fold the dwarf and rat not very good and Eric Joisel often wrote that he don't like it when people make bad folds of his art. So I wanted to help that there are better folds of his work. I thought it's okay because of the instructions where free published in the internet by Joisel. So now after I'm not sure that I don't infrige the copyright I wanted to ask for help. How can I find out if my videos are lawful and who has the copyright? I really don't want to upload illegal videos so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Alexander
[Origami] Origami sighting
After retuning home from the MFPP convention in France last night, I got these links from an SF Friend. The first is story on the Origami Exhibition at Cooper's Union. IT can be viewed during the OUSA Convention. The second is a story of the Origami Nerds at MIT celebrating Thanksgiving in Origami. There are plenty of pictures. I am surprised that I had not see this one before. The Third is a video of Ship Cranes lit up like the traditional crane and the lightings timed to music. There are plenty of still pictures of the video.

MIT geeks + Thanksgiving = spectacular origami designs CNN Style By Liz Stinson, Wired February 25, 2014 -- Updated 1242 GMT (2042 HKT) http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/28/tech/mit-geeks-origami-thanksgiving/ Nerdy Thanksgiving Origami is arguably more math than art, so it makes sense then that MIT would have a thriving origami scene. Every Sunday, a group of around 20 to 30 people gather on campus to experiment with paper folding techniques. Most recently, the group folded a series of turkeys, cornucopias, pine cones and vegetables to create a gorgeously nerdy Thanksgiving tableau. “Illuminated Shipyard Cranes Transform Into Glowing Origami Dancers.” The Huffington Post | By Priscilla Frank Posted: 05/29/2014 9:15 am EDT Updated: 05/29/2014 1:59 pm EDT http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/29/skira-shipyard-cranes_n_5404799.html?utm_hp_ref=arts
[Origami] New video plus exciting news
Hi everyone, It's the first Saturday of the month - time for another origami video tutorial! This time I'm showing you how to fold some modular origami: the Sparaxis unit, a star from 6 units and a sphere (kusudama) from 30 units. Thanks to Ekaterina Lukasheva from http://kusudama.me/ for this fantastic design and permission to present it to you! Picture of a fold: http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-lukasheva-star_and_kusudama Video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/mJ6SsdzpClc Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-lukasheva_sparaxis_star_and_kusudama And do check out Ekaterina's YouTube channel (with instructional videos!) https://www.youtube.com/user/aradddia and her book Kusudama, details here: http://www.happyfolding.com/book-lukasheva-kusudama_origami But there's more news. :) On May 9th at 11:26pm I gave birth to my second son, Niklas Adams. We're well and about and enjoying life as a family of four. For the curious amongst you, here's a picture from the first day when Felix (my older son) met Niklas: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JobE2DKBCXU/U275pi7KtUI/3lo/cyPkZyL3oQI/w924-h1232-no/9167-SMILE.jpg And if that's not enough, let's add some more origami-related news! I received many great letters in celebration of reaching 50,000 subscribers, and it inspired me to start a new effort to connect more with you out there. That's why I decided to launch a new video series called Your origami folds. In each video, I'll show photos of folds you completed of the model in my most recent origami video. Details are in the video http://youtu.be/EevKZTEFymw - but to keep things short: The deadline for submissions of photos of Mother and Child by Stephen Weiss ( http://youtu.be/tPegXeyEIwY) is a week from now, on June 14th 2014. I'll publish the first Your Origami Folds a week after, on June 21st 2014. Finally, you may be wondering about Ilan Garibi's and Gadi Vishne's newest paper review. This time - in celebration of 20 reviews - it's a special article, which features opinions on paper choice from Giang Dinh, Beth Johnson, and Robert Lang. Now if that isn't a special treat! Read the article at http://www.happyfolding.com/paper-survey_dinh_johnson_lang or https://origamiusa.org/thefold/article/paper-review-special-paper-survey Now, enjoy the weekend and of course happy folding, -- Sara
