Very Simple Model - Is it new ?

Post by firstfold »

I just got finished making an origami photo frame.
Yes, I know thera re a lot of different methods for photo frames out there.
I think the one I came up with is simple and somewhat elegant - BUT
I have the fealing that the same exact model has been done before.
I've looked throught the web and reviewed about 60 of my books and can't find something quite the same.
If it is NOT original, I would like to know.
I have put the critical steps on Flickr

I do think my pop-up application with the photo frame is probably original
You can see that at:

Both things are original in my opinion.

It looks familiar, but I would have to say it's something new...

Web site has instructions now !

I have added the instruction for the Photo-Frame to my website.
Look in the Diagrams section.

For the purists who demand that origami only be applied to a single square sheet - start with a square photograph. The folding procedure are exactly the same. (please excuse the slight tongue-in-cheek).
