Re: [Origami] Studio update and Artist question (Seth)

Hi Seth, I don't know if it's already been covered in this thread but I've recently discovered that silica gel (the stuff that comes in little white packets sometimes in bottles of vitamins) can be bought on Amazon very inexpensively. I've been using it in my gym bag and it works great. Tha

[Origami] Methods for creating duo-tissue paper?

A few years back I had a need for duo tissue paper (2 pieces of tissue bonded together) and used my standard method for foil-backing paper... It was a VERY not pleasant experience. Did not go well, though I was able to save the resultant mess with the liberal use of an iron and paper cutter.

Re: [Origami] Flat rectangular models with color change?

Hi Gerardo, In "Creating Origami" there are several models that might fit-the-bill for you. You can see images of all of my models on Gilad's website. http://www.giladorigami.com/BO_Creating_Origami_Nolan.html Most of the "decorations" are color-change and square, all of the "Colored Lover

Re: [Origami] teaching reverse-folds

Hi Andrew, It's been a long time since I've been teaching, but back in the day when I did I would hold up a separate square of paper, fold it diagonally into a triangle and then, without pre-creasing the fold I would demonstrate the action in the air using the words "Now, stuff the point down

Re: [Origami] Small origami model for condolence card for US, Veteran

I like the traditional Peace Dove. I recall many years ago OUSA (FOCA?) had it as one of its holiday models and that year I made my X-Mas cards using small colored versions taped to white folded card stock. They were a big hit... http://www.saintmatthew.org/peacedove/ I'm not sure why the p

I learned yesterday that Patricia Crawford passed away on March 28, 2014. I spoke with her husband Bob briefly on the phone in response to some material I forwarded to her regarding a new book that I'm working on. The family has always been quite private and I was only able to talk to him bri

I've heard about this "trading card" thing before but have no idea what it is. Can someone give me a bit of a description of what they actually are / what they look like / what the "protocol" is with regard to them?

[Origami] Origami Book Fold

Hey All, I was at a local "Book Arts" show the other day and the program that they were handing out was so cleaver and simple, with a few folds and one strategic cut you can create a multi-page book out of a single sheet of legal-sized paper which when unfolded shows the map of the show on th
