The Origami Forum

Hi

I would like to make a special birthday gift. Last time I've done bouquet of 23 kawasaki roses. And this time it has to be as spectacular.

Im thinking about one big flower, which contains couple of smaller flowers and leavs.

Does anyone can help?

WOW! That will be hard to top in my opinion, good luck. Unfortunately I do not know any models that could help you.

How much time do you have?

about 2 weeks.

by saying spectacular I ment that it has to look as nice for someone who knows nothing about origami folding;)

roses looked amazing, but they wasn't hard to fold. they only took loooooot of time;)

please give me something, cuz I don't want to disapoint my girlfriend:)


btw - im thinking bout sth like those two on the top:

Last summer i've been taught by Grzegorz Bubniak for a 10-petal-flower on the Hungarian Origami meeting of 2008. It isnt so hard and if you fold as much you need for that flower you showed, i think it's possible.
Here's a link for that picture: http://gregorigami.art.pl/index.php?akc ... ry&obr=131
good luck

I recommend looking through the rest of this page:

It's the one you listed before but off to the left there are diagrams for a few of his flowers. They are all beautiful so you can pick a flower and then go to the gallery and see how he arranged that flower and then copy that.

That flower looks really nice I had a book that made a flower simmilar to that (I don't know how many petals it had but they were pointed, not rounded)

Diopside,

I'm interested in folding that nice flowe, I'd like to get that diagram, Is it possible to get it?. Thank you.

Regards,
Matias

I really like the orchid by Robert Lang: http://www.langorigami.com/art/gallery/ ... ame=orchid

I once made 1000 cranes once that all fit in 500 millilitre jar for my now husband. That was over 10 years ago when I had time to spare. that gave a 'wow' and he still treasures it. I know b/c he freaked when he thought he lost the jar when I moved it somewhere where our toddler can't reach it

I do not know if a diagram existed, and it would be hard making a diagram for it. I could make a progressive diagram-crease pattern, though it would take lot of time, i have got no experience in drawing such things.
It isnt that hard, just you have to know how to get that symmetrical 10sided polygon. Maybe i can draw some steps and the rest you repeat at the other sides. I would start it on the weekend, is it good?

Diopside,

Yes, it's enough. I'll thank you your help and time for this.

Best regards,

Matias

What about these?







They are modular and VERY simple - but someone with no origami knowledge will appreciate it, I'm sure.

The diagram is in Oribana Delight by Katrin and Yuri Shumakov (exotic flower)
