[Origami] Origami models in porcelain
Some years ago I produced some models with porcelain. I published my experiences in "Der Falter" in german. For further informations contact me offlist. Ulrike

Pictures of two models done in the clay medium, for which the recipe is posted, are now at www.orifun.weebly.com OriFUN to all, Dianne
Re: [Origami] Origami models in porcelain
Do you have any pix of pieces folded with your special recipe? Would love to see the difference between the polymer clay model and others! Mary Ellen from AZ I do not have any pix of Origami folded with this clay. As I never have bread in my house, I must get some...will make something soon enough and post a pix at www.orifun.weebly.com There is a pix of a miniature sculpture of a head that can be worn on a chain on the Orifun Creation page ( http://orifun.weebly.com/creations.html ) In looking at that, one one can see the detail the clay is able to hold in small work. The clay "listens" well. That piece is finished with nail polish. Should anyone decide to try their hand at an Origami piece created from the clay, the recipe is ample for a 6" square. My preference is to use a glass to roll out the clay laid between saran wrap. Additionally, one must find supports with which to hold the piece in place until it dries. OriFUN to all, Dianne

[Origami] Origami models in porcelain
I have successfully used the following recipe for forming Origami models: 3 pieces of torn stale white bread – crust removed 3 tablespoons PVC glue 1/2 teaspoon glycerin Process: 1. Knead with lightly coated glycerin hands. The mixture will be extremely sticky for about 3 minutes. The clay will then become very silky and move into itself, leaving no residue on the hands. 2. Roll the clay out to a very thin piece. The clay can be rolled so thinly it is translucent, yet maintains it’s structure. 3. Cut the clay into the shape needed to fold the Origami model. 4. Fold the clay, modifying that process as necessary for working with such a medium. 5. Allow the model to air dry...minimum 24 hours 6. Finish as desired, for example, paint with acrylic, ink, dye, polyacrylic, etc. Note: as the viscosity of the clay is altered, I do not recommend adding powdered or liquid paint, dye o ink to the initial recipe. I have used Sculpey polymer clay, however, it is very difficult to work it into vey thin sheets, hence the finished Sculpey Origami model is bulkier than I like, as can be seen at www.orifun.weebly.com OriFUN to all, Dianne

Scott Bedrick" asked: >I am interested in attempting to cast Origami modes in porcelain... >I know that there are people out there that do this and I am wondering >if anyone on the list has information on how this can be done and the >materials involved. Hi, I tried my hand with clay, and just like Scott, it became too brittle, too. We dipped it 10 times and still there wasn't enough material on the mountain creases. Next was to cover the paper (before it was folded) with fabric, because fabric absorb more, but still it didn't work well. If you want to know more, please contact me directly. The best solution is Keraflex - a thin sheet (0.5 or 1 mm) that can be easily folded: http://www.ceramicartcart.com/Keraflex_Porcelain.html a student of mine, Meital Komemy, managed to fold it into lampshade. They are still fragile but useable, and the result is stunning! All the best, Ilan Garibi
