Her double diagonal shift vase is truly creative, which makes me scratch my
head to find out how it is done. Think I'll try it on my bottle:

Thanks so much, Robert!

To answer the earlier question about paper/folding techniques, I also use 
Elephant Hide. It's the right combination of 1) stiff but not too thick and 
2) easy to wet-fold. More on the folding techniques & design process on my 
website (http://rebecca.gieseking.us/category/tutorial/).

I like Cheng Chit's work, but I absolutely adore what Rebecca Gieseking
has done with the "rotational folding" concept; it's mind-blowing. (Yes,

To provide sufficient rigidity, use thicker paper like 110 gsm Elephanthide.

In Mitani's models, the couplets or flanges are exposed on the outside. It
is possible to have the couplets hidden by having them on the other side.
For couplets, with two intrinsic straight creases, crimp the couplet at the
vertex (point where the polygons meet). For couplets with an intrinsic
curved and a straight crease, theoretically, you will have to have an
infinite number of crimps on the couplet. Try transforming the intrinsic
curved crease into a finite number of straight lines and crimp.

This area of 3-D folding is intriguing. We can extend the couplet folding
technique to non-rotational symmetric models. Here two  of my couplet folded
models:

There's an overlap of paper on both
sides of the intrinsic straight crease, which is curved in the final model.
Robert Lang calls the couplets flanges in his flanged pots. We can, of
course, have two intrinsic straight creases for the couplet. The surface of
the model will then be polyhedral.

What is the best paper to use? Warps can be a problem.

Section 5 Radial Formed Rotational Symmetric Model of my paper "Simulation
of Nonzero Gaussian Curvature in Curved-Crease Couplets" published in
Origami^5 has reference to Jun Mitani's three-dimensional curved origami.
Such models are formed by couplets. A couplet consists of an intrinsic
straight and an intrinsic curved crease. There's an overlap of paper on both
sides of the intrinsic straight crease, which is curved in the final model.
Robert Lang calls the couplets flanges in his flanged pots. We can, of
course, have two intrinsic straight creases for the couplet. The surface of
the model will then be polyhedral.
