That Flower Tower looks awesome!

Those swirls make it more flower like!
So, your addicted to tessellations

Keep up the good folds!

Maybe not so much "addicted" as to "fascinated".

Tesselations aren't a drug. Or not.

Oh, and "you're" is spelled "apostrophe R E"

(Chuckles)

GAH!
For some reason I forget those little apostrophes sometimes when I type, but I do fine when hand writing

And I guess I "fascinated" is better than "addicted"
Thanks for the corrections and advice!

Actually I would say I'm addicted

Thanks for your comments! Tessellations are my primary area of designing, but I do a lot of representational folding too. I also design a few animals, but I haven't put many on flickr yet.

Tessellations are a worthy addiction! Many of us have been afflicted... even fewer have escaped

I'll come back to representational folding one of these days...

That dodecagonal twist is just stunning. I wish I had that accuracy...

I'd do tesselations if I didn't find them so boring lol. I admire youppl for having the patience.

Mars · Post by **Mars** » October 24th, 2008, 8:04 pm

Yeah I couldn't have the patience to do tessellations. I find Oruhito's folds to be worthwhile!

Keep it up Oruhito!

Thank you Mars and Moonspinner for your comments! Patience is the key in all my work. (as you'll notice on my flickr page I make new pieces at a slow rate haha

I really like your work, Oruhito. Both your geometric and representative origami designs look splendid. I'd love to see some CP's of your tessellations. I've only recently become interested in folding tessellations, and I would love to give it a try.

hehehe tessilations are cool!

Oruhito · Post by **Oruhito** » November 28th, 2008, 1:10 am

Thank you both for your comments! Adam: Diagramming/drawing CPs is not my forte, but I've gotten interest from different people, so diagrams may be forthcoming for this piece: my octagon insignia. I'll keep everyone updated.

Adam I have an update for you: I have began diagramming the octagon insignia piece. Seeing as the holidays are quickly approaching (as is the Christmas Diagram Book) I thought I would draw something up to contribute. Fortunately it isn't many steps and I should finish soon. Here's some new photos:

Most people don't know that origami is something I do on the side of my main artwork. My main work is painting and drawing. This is a piece I just wrapped up a week or so ago. It's a cast drawing of Michelangelo's dying slave. It isn't exactly origami, but I thought I'd post it if anyone was interested. Does anyone else here on the forum draw or paint? I find that the two art forms are intrinsically related. Origami has helped me be a better painter and vice versa. (If I'm breakin' any forum rules by posting this let me know! It wasn't my intent)

Cheers! And happy holidays
