What have you folded lately?

Thanks. I used a little water, but not much because the paper is just kami.
When I get the time I think I will fold another pig using a better paper.

Nice brontothere, the crimp on the back really gives it a 3d effect. Well done.

This morning I folded Anibal Voyers Witch, and I'm very happy with it.
That will be my last post for the foreseeable future (you'll be delighted to hear), as the company just went in to receivership and is laying everyone off as of 15:00 (about an hour)
To everyone who contributes to this forum and keeps it running as such a cosmopolitan, friendly, helpful and valuable resource - may you go from strength to strength.
I have spent many happy lunch hours here.
Sincerely, thank you.

We will miss you. Maybe you can access the page over another computer (e.g. Internet Cafe). All the best and happy folding.

Goodbye Insomniac Folder. Hope to see you soon

I designed a marmoset and refolded my rabbit:

Sorry to hear about the receivership InsomniacFolder; the economy really is in a bad way at the moment. I'm sure things will work out ok for you in the near future. Bet you're not away from the forum for too long either!

Froy... very impressive folding of the mantis, and the swan is stunning. Great work.

Cephalopod... really like the rabbit. Love the animated posture.

Very nice design qtrollip

i love how you shaped the horns - makes it look very lifelike, as all of your designs are

spiritofcat · Post by **spiritofcat** » June 20th, 2009, 1:11 am

Nice Kudu, Quinten.
The horns are great, but I'm a bit worried about its legs. They don't look big and strong enough to support the animal very well. Especially the front ones.

Cephalopod, I like your marmoset, clever way of making the head. At first I thought it was missing its head entirely

INTRODUCING:
(Drum Roll - please)

Firstfold's Flippy-Face Polyhedra

These techniques were inspired by the following works of John Montroll

"A Plethora of Polyhedra in Origami", 2002
"Origami Inside-Out"., 1993

This is my humble attempt to extend his techniques to a new type of Geometric Origami.

Flippy-Face Polyhedra have the following characteristics

1. Each is folded from a single square sheet of paper
2. Each looks like a polyhedron (a solid bounded by polygons)
3. You can flip the color of one or more faces with a hinged flap in one movement
4. After each flip the beginning shape is maintained
5. Each flip is reversible.
6. The ultimate and sometimes unachievable goal is to be able to flip all faces.

Here are my first two attempts at this concept -

1. A cube with 5 of 6 faces capable of being flipped (all except the face that touches the surface)

2. A triangular Dipyramid (all six faces can be flipped in three movements)

Your challenge is to create a new "Flippy-Face Polyhedra"
Can you make a cube with 6 flippy faces ??????

Froy, that swan is amazing. Unfortunatly, my mom told me I have to fold her one before I leave for Basic. Is there a diagram?
