What have you folded lately?

[Fc1032]

@Pixion and anyone else who is interested:

THe rose is a modification of the original kawasaki rose not the new one (aka the diagonal one). They look like this:

It's kinda hard to describe what i've done... Instead of the normal collapse fold (which is just 45 degrees i think), you make it less steep (I'm guessing 26 degrees) and that will make the rose tighter and narrow.

I can draw up a simple diagram of some sort... Or would i need the permission of the original folder? (the gift of gifts)

I would also like to add that this rose looks different in real life. I just chose a nice angle and good lighting etc to get the effect...

@ Fc1032

Thanks for these pointers. Is it the Kawasaki rose (the non diagonal one) diagrammed in Origami for the Connoisseur?

I think I know what you mean with the less steep collapse, but if you have some photos or a simple sketch that would be great!

Regarding copyright, I think that should be o.k. (referencing the original author and perhaps the one that did the modification).

@Pixion:

According to the rose FAQ, the original kawasaki is diagrammed in Origami for the Connoisseur.

I think i'll do some simple sketches then =)

I'll start a new thread when i have that done! Watch the space!

Dear Folder in Mexico (the symbols in your name did not translate well),
that is a beautiful and atmospheric picture of the cranes with the rising sequence of development.

Thanks, I look forward to that new thread!

I folded the original Kawasaki rose today (from Origami for Connoisseurs). Not sure which step it is you refer to as 'collapsing under 45 degrees', but I will keep my eyes open for that thread.

We have more than enough rose topics. Please use one of the existing topics to post whatever you have to tell us.

HA! I figured out how to post a picture! lol

I made this last night. I'm happy to say this is the first thing EVER that is a free-style original work. I have been dipping into learning about tessellations. After playing around with the basic square tessellation, this mask popped out at me.

I used an 18" square of vellum paper. I will NOT be using that kind of paper for a mask in the future... I don't think it was the best medium.
The nose is a bit overworked, one spot around the temple is not symmetrical, and I have NO IDEA how I did it!

Over all, I am glad another origami door has opened in my mind and I am still learning every day.

Any and all feedback is welcome. It may be best to post feedback in a PM instead of in here to keep on the topic. Thank you for looking!

Polygon Study by Andrew Hudson folded by me from eight different Polygons cut from Transparent paper. Unfortunately the paper wasn't very cooperative for photographing. I think this is an interesting technique. All Polygons have the same number of iterations.

Edit:
As a by-product of this series I folded a lid with fitting box, each from one square of paper.
