Re: [Origami] Symmetrical five-color scheme...

I have had it since 2007 and published in several of my books, but your email prompted me to post it for everyone. I did the color distribution virtually by playing with colors on my drawing software with some educated guess. It ended up being fun! The 3-color icosahedron and dodechedron were the most challenging. Meenakshi, I wanted to offer you an idea. There are too many single > and duo-colored kusudamas in the world.

While multiple colors look nice, some modulars are actually better with a single color, or duo colored paper. If there are flowery designs involved, they actually look nice if all petals are in a single color. But for some modulars such as polypolyhedra (wireframes) or more geometric designs, multiple colors are nice. So how about making a > campaign, for example on social media?

That way more will know. > What do you think Meenakshi? I'd really like to see a lot more > multicolor kusudamas : ) That’s very kind of you. You’re welcome to create hashtags as long as you include #origamee, and start the campaign. I am not that much on social media, only a little. Please also feel free to publish in Neorigami.

Re: [Origami] Joyce Rockmore's daughter
Joyce Rockmore was my first origami teacher more than thirty years ago. I took my first class from her at my local library. She also had monthly meetings in Needham MA. I met origami friends there and I cherish them to this day. Joyce was a great teacher and very giving of her time and sharing her origami talent.

[Origami] Joyce Rockmore's daughter
Hi all! I was out and about sightseeing in my hometown yesterday wearing the latest OUSA convention shirt. Another woman on the your we were on asked about it. She said her mother used to be quite involved in OUSA ... Her mom's name was Joyce Rockmore. Maybe some of you know her? I guess she has a couple of diagrams it there - one in Sheri Lewis' book. Joyce used to host the show Everyone Folds Something ? I think that was the name of it. I'm sad to say that we didn't exchange names, so I don't know what the daughter's name is. 😒 But it was cool to meet her - all because I was wearing an origami tee shirt! Dee

I've been making muticolor kusudamas for close to 25 years, and apart from my first one or two 3-color sonobes (which I still have and display) , I managed to figure out the 3 and 5-color schemes on my own. I have found the 5 color scheme the easiest to implement in the icosahedron/dodecahedron models. Meenakshi's chart is very elegant and useful, and I refer to it on occasion. I think most serious (or serial) kusudama makers are on board with multicolor schemes.Thanks for your contributions to origami-l! Jacob
