amazing!! i didn’t even need to see a video. it actually collapsed itself. now i understand when you say “believe in yourself and keep folding”. the sequenced pictures helped me a lot. any chance you add them to more of your designs?

Whoops, I got those directions but only up to page 3 the first time. Dunno if my file was corrupt or I was just braindead, but there’s more instruction here than I realized.

Hence, the directions. If you have specific questions, please feel free to ask, but it doesn't appear to me that you're looking for answers.

Come on. This is NOT “Open Source Origami”. I have been doing origami for a few years now, including mathematical origami, and I can’t figure out at all how to fold this thing. “A helical twist down the middle” is not enough information.

[...] Okay, brass tacks: it takes about an hour to do the precreasing. You?ve really got to want to do this. The construction method is largely the same as the 8 Sided Compass Rose Jar. Precrease; twist the central helix; swap the layers; collapse the edges. Here?s the crease pattern. Note that the second page tells you why the lines are where they are. [...]

I am highly impressed or impressionably high, all things commutative. Its compact, functional, good durability… Oschene this design is delightful and the way it goes together is intensely satifying. Thanks for posting.

[...] This is a compass rose. When I look at my visitor logs, I notice that I get a lot of traffic based on the fact that this site contains the words rose and origami frequently. That?s a little deceptive, since there are no representational roses here. There will be, someday. This week, ATELIER Silver, a Japanese folder and blogger, folded the 8-Sided Compass Rose Jar and wondered, where?s the rose? Silver, if you fold the model from paper instead of foil and hold it up to the light, you will see this pattern in the bottom of the jar. Although I?ve been working with helical twists for some years, I borrowed this term from KASAHARA Kunihiko who speaks of compass folding in his book, Amazing Origami. [...]

This is beautifully done and the more amazing in that it’s on a Japanese site, but done entirely in American foil.

Bravo!

Man, I still haven’t gotten that trackback thing down, conceptually. It’s hard to be Web 2.0 with a rotary telephone mind.

But I am glad you got it to work. That twisty collapse is something I use in a lot of models, probably far too many.

This morning, on the bus, I was working on a model for St. Patrick’s Day which will have an Irish iris closure. Aye-de-aye-de-aye, it’s the Cavan way….

Now, how do I get this to ping back to you?
