Christmas Origami Book 2007
Dear all,
Once again Christmas time is coming nearer and like last year I want to prepare a book of diagrams that will be sent to all participants.
It's a book from creators to creators containing previously unpublished instructions only.
That's how it works:
Everyone who wants to participate sends me (at least) one previously unpublished folding instruction. Afterwards I assemble them all into a pdf-file with a table of contents and send it back to all participants. In the end everyone of them gets a nice compilation of diagrams that aren't available elsewhere.
Everyone who wants to take part can send his/her instructions to
Origamibook AT gmail DOT com
(Replace "AT" with "@" and "DOT" with ".")
The last date to send your instructions is December 15.
Hopefully many people will contribute to this project so that we´ll get a nice book together
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some questions (and their answers) that have been asked before:
* Do I need to send computer drawn diagrams?
No, hand drawn diagrams or other clear instructions (photo or text) count as well.
* Can I send more than one diagram?
Yes of course, as much as you want.
* Can I have a copy of the book without sending something in?
No, this project is thought as an exchange of folding instructions and not to earn money with it. If you don´t have an own model to diagram maybe you can draw diagrams for someone else´s model, so that you two can participate as one person. For help in finding someone see here: viewtopic.php?t=1810
* Have the models to be Christmas related?
No they don´t. Christmas is just the date you will receive the book.
* Can I send Crease Patterns and Text Instructions as well?
Yes, but make sure to also send a picture of the finished model. Diagrams are preferred.
* How many participants contributed last year?
32 Authors have sent in a total of 49 Models, five of them as Crease Patterns. The finished book contained 149 pages and was 24MB in size.

That is so cool! I drew my first diagrams ever (for a mortarboard from a dollar bill) a month or two ago. I have photos on flickr, but now I have access to a scanner so I should be able to get a cleaner version up on the web. Anyway, here are the diagrams for anyone who would like to check it out:

Contact me if you need help with the diagrams-it is my first attempt at diagramming, so things are probably a little unclear.
