Christmas Origami Book 2008

I'm going to send in a crease pattern for my ox. It's quite simple, so it can be used as a beginners guide to CPs

I'll post pictures of my ox soon.

OK, i've decided I will send:
1.) improved musk beetle CP ( there's a story behind it!)
2.) tiger CP!!! yes, it will only be the base. I will post the details on the forum a short while after christmas ( we are going on holiday around xmas)
3.) a little suprise.. most of the instructions I will post a short while after.
for a clue, here's a anagram of its name:
HTE GKNIA.
all will be revealed in the book!

I'm glad to hear of your planned submissions

I know it isn't written in my first post, but I ask everyone to keep their instructions unpublished for a month (until end of January) so the Christmas book really is something special.

Is it possible to get the previous ones??

Read the first post carefully, your question has already been answered there.

anna, do you " buy" the older ones with instructions? sorry but i can't understand most things being 11..
edit:
i've nearly finished the musk beetle CP, i will send it in the weekend.

If I've already published a model's crease pattern, does making and sending in diagrams count?

origamimasterjared · October 23rd, 2008, 12:19 am

Yes it's okay, Nate.

ori_dragon3, here's how it works:

If you send in one diagram, you get one book. If you send in another diagram, you get another book. To get all three books (including the new one) you would have to submit at least three diagrams.

To Nathan:
(crossing-fingers) Please be the Myrmidon...Please be the Myrmidon...Please be the Myrmidon...

Wait. I guess I'll have to submit some diagrams then.

(Judging by the complexity of the Myrmidon Crease pattern, I think it unlikely that there will ever be diagrams.)

Sorry, I can't make Myrmidon diagrams. I've never really made any diagrams, so whatever diagrams I make won't be that great...
My diagrams will probably be hand-drawn during math class. The crease pattern has all the folds already on it, and once collapsed, it is very easy to turn the base into the finished model.

I know.

I tried the CP a few times. What is a good way to approach the pre-creasing for it? Just PM me some advice for it. If you feel like it.

well, I sent all the CP's so I hope you like them!

mm...
err...
