The Origami Forum

Eric Joisel just recently posted these pictures on his Facebook. I thought they may interest some people here on the process of his work. Wish I could figure out the saxophone CP

Thank you for sharing, very interesting. Facebook probably is not so needless. Structure of saxophone is more or less clear from finished model, I think.

Thank you very much. These are very interesting! Joisel truly is a master.

Hooray! This is going to make a lot of people happy. I think my dwarf is going to like the new sax Anyway, I hope someone will post pictures of their folds.

Anyone fold anything yet, like the sax?

Nobody? I think I might give the sax a shot tonight. The fact that it is a sketch is a little harder than a concrete crease pattern. Oh, and I don't understand French

To bad, but you are lucky there are french on this forum :

Saxophone

Real size of the sheet
(2 x 1 = 99 x 198 mm)
Sandwich foil/brown tissue
Acrylic : 1 layer shining brown
1 layer half shining white, half gold
before dry
1 layer shining brown

Glueing as a cylinder

Vertically on the right, it is written : Return for the pavilion inside

Hope it helps

Seems to me that it's not as much technical folding, as it is a shaping exercise. I'm guessing this isn't box pleating then, is it?

Anyone know why he has shading on the right side of the saxophone cp? Not sure if I should fold it or I am supposed to remove it.

I have made a tutorial for a variation of joisels bass. There are no instructions for it so I designed my own by looking at Eric Joisels photos of his dwarf bass. Some parts are similar and other parts different. I really love Joisels work. So it's a tribute to him and his great art Hope you like it.
