On May 5 I sent through the list my previous message regarding this thread.
In it, I told you I decided to contact the creator (Víctor M. Nuñez) of the
prior model ("Star bowl"), and discuss with him if my model was a variation
of his own or not.
So I thought about sharing the highlights of the co
Regarding the discussion about what is a variation in origami and if my box
