What have you folded lately?

I like it, how hard was it?

Hmm, there's not really a move in there that's hard, so I'd give it a high intermediate/ lower complex. The difficulty arises from the type of paper used. Thicker paper will probably tear the paper at some stage.

The version photographed was folded from a square acquired from an A4 sheet of paper - the same model folded from an A3 sheet of paper did not look as nice.

I just finished a new model in preperation to make an EVA. I wanted to tackle a good human form. I have posted my new female figure on my site.

Oh my God Jason, that looks stunning! (Erm, just like the rest of your models then

)

To Saj: Nice, I just folded the same dragonfly(unless this is a variant) from the OUSA 2000 convention book, except I used that silver foil of mine. I'm suprised the paper you used didn't tear, good job

. If it is the same one, I think it had a tricky move in forming the wings

, but that was it. The only thing I don't like on this design are the small legs, but I expected that from the majority of insect designs out there.

To Jason: Also nice, are the legs seperate? looks fairly Hojyo Takashi like. Good luck on the EVA.

Thanks Joe, the paper is called Gold Line paper; I think its used by graphic artists for drawing. Its around 80gsm and very thin and durable.

Maybe when you come to the UK I'll buy you some ...

To Joe: Yes, the legs are seperate, but the other photos didn't look as good. You think it is Hojyo-esque? Nope. The head comes from a corner, and the placement of the appendages is quite different. I should post the cp for you guys

. I'll try to get around to that soon.

To Saj: That might not be too many years away...

To Jason: Just checking, I thought the hands and face were Hojyo-esque, but I didn't think it was from his base style, it does seem to have the "clean" look to it though. Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing the c-pat someday. I heard that Robert Lang will be visiting the Atlanta Regional Folders. I wish I could go, but I can't.

Well, Joe, that day has come

! I have just uploaded cps for the Harpy, Atlas Beetle and Woman.

I too look forward to Lang's arrival.

I wish I could go, but I can't.

Yes, but how would you get here?

Hi jason,

Just out of curiosity, how did you go about drawing the CP? And what do the red lines mean?

(You can tell I'm a CP newbie!).

If you mean how I physically drew the cps, I use Freehand MX. When designing the model, I usually draw a cp out by hand even before I fold the model. I then fold and adjust the cp as necessary.

The red lines show a circle/river packing: basically, this shows where paper goes for the different points of the model. If you see an octagon in the cp, this means that this cp forms a base and on this base is a point emminating from the base with a length equal to that of the radius of the octagon (The octagon is actually a representation of a circle like those in ODS). If you see a "river," or a path formed by the red lines that is not a solid shape between to polygons that represent points, the river means that there is a length of paper that is between those two corrosponding points on the base.

Hope this helps in some way!

I have folded Kawasaki's rose lately. How do you like it?

Stunning!

What kind of paper did you use?

Frydrych · Post by **Frydrych** » April 23rd, 2004, 1:02 pm

Thanks!

I used usual xero paper.

There are great difficulties with obtaining special origami paper here in Poland.

I also think your stem and leaves are the best I've seen. Are they your own design?
