)

Hey y'all, we're back for Week 2. For this week we again have two offerings. Couldn't fold the CP from last week? No worries! I've completed the diagrams for my Snowflake! This is just one of many possible variations, and we're looking forward to seeing y'all fold it and come up with your own variations!

We also have the crease pattern for Hsi Hua Liu's Rabbit.

Good luck, keep on folding, and don't forget to come back next week and every week!

OMG you guys are awesome! I've only tried the snake so far (failed miserably... I think because my paper was waaay too small) and that snowflake is just gorgeous! Glad you posted diagram for it XD

Nice idea! BTW, can other people contribute diagrams? Because this might help me get motivated to diagram more...

As for the simple origami calendars, I buy them if not just to have a calendar. Plus a few of the models are actually pretty clever (such as a bird base Spinosaurus). Then again I'm a bit biased since I'm normally not much for folding super complex stuff and prefer to fold intermediate-low complex models

Whilst the twist in week 7 is nice enough on its own, the underlying method of n-secting angles is great! I can't believe I've never seen this before, even though I've seen dividing edges into n equal divisions numerous times (but then I do own Brilliant Origami!). Its so neat and really obvious now I've seen it. Now if only i can figure out what fold I should start with to get a 27-gon?!

Also, its really spooky but I tried it twice and got almost precisely 3/7th both times - I didn't have to re-adjust the first fold once.

Oh yeah, plus BUMP for this topic - appreciation for a fun and very worthy effort!

I know this forum since a long time but somehow I never registered. So for my first post I would like to thank you for this crazy idea of origami calendar

I love it !

Hopefully everything is ok with Andrew and Jared, it is Wednesday and still no new diagram for this week.

And they shall... I think...
Well, it's likely that there may have been some kind of stall in the designing or diagramming process...

Oy, sorry about that. Had a bit of a communication breakdown.

It's all up now. Turns out this week is yours...
