This was one of my first models, I think – I was about 13. It’s corrugated for extra goodness. I had thought it one of my simpler models, but making a CP has taught me otherwise. It’s still fun. Here’s the crease pattern. And a Happy New Year’s to all!
Gore Square (deprecated – feh, uck, ptui) Better Gore Square For experimental use – it’s not quite done yet. (Oh, and if any of those fancy New York design firms are curious, we may be open origami evangelists, but we can be bought licensed.)
Don’t mind the cat – Basil’s just been into the catnip and he’s a little stoned. I decided it would be fun to color the gores of the curved surface waterbomb, to enhance the general eggyness of it. “Easter egg” is a term programmers use to describe little secret treats they leave in their code, […]
A Chad Stewart from some place Southern writes in to say, “Hey, y’all! where’s the phreakin’ diagrams?” Em. Haven’t made them yet. We will, but we’re still waiting for understanding to take place. (Ours, that is; yours will come later.) Of course, if the world stopped every time we didn’t understand something, we’d still be […]
Yes, getting a little swirly in here. Curved surface folding adds a new axis to the fold: mountain/valley, left/right, up/down, curved/flat….I like it. Gritty, textural, doesn’t work 3 times out of 5. Oh, yeah. This is a Coriolis Bowl, named for that swirling effect the Earth’s rotation adds to storms and whirlpools. Astute folders will […]
Update: Better crease pattern and some nice hints can be found here. Say what? Well, we must call it something and that name may be unlovely, but it is not unapt. It’s in two pieces, the top wrapping over the bottom. Or the other way around, doesn’t matter much. If you’ve spent anytime at all […]
This is the same as the Triskelion Dish, but with the corners folded under – I didn’t quite like the white showing. A trifle more complicated, but logical and more aesthetically satisfying. Like a nice bowl of Spicy Beef Soup. We offer two files here, one the crease pattern: Sam-Taeguk Dish Crease Pattern And the […]
I think I mentioned at some point that it was easy to make an elegant pentagon from a circle of paper. It is, but still, it’s not intuitive. Making polygons from circles has a lot in common with compass-and-straightedge work. Except paper is easier to work with and the straightedge can be marked up like […]
Where Are The Phreakin’ Diagrams? None, yet – and when there are, they’ll be debuting on a different stage. (We’ll link to it.) Till then, an unimproved CP for the impatient: O3 Rose, 0.4 Or: O3 Rose Crease Pattern, Somewhat Improved.
