i was intrigued by this suggestion and reviewed the contents of past tanteidan convention magazines. it's true that they have many of the same national contributors, but this is fair, IMHO, since it is the "japanese" convention, and, as such, the nationals should take priority. i don't believe that the first tanteidan collections had any international artists at all. OTOH, though they occasionally have repeat international contributors (most notably lang), the selection over the past few years has been very wide and varied.

Well, now that I look back it seems I may have chosen the wrong sort of model-- I submitted full diagrams for a tessellation, but now that I look it seems they only publish modulars, as far as geometric origami goes. From what I can tell, they haven't published any single-sheet geometric origami since Tanteidan 11, and that was just a couple boxes.

I didn't see anything from Eric Gjerde in the book... I figure that I would see at least one tessellation. I thought that the Yoshino Issei fund guests were supposed to have diagrams for something, but I guess they did change a lot of things this year.
For the most part, I'm pretty happy with whats in the book.
As for my own diagrams, I think I need to make them bigger and take up more of the page. The only diagram that didn't meet my expectations for the book was Yamashita Akira's Love...

Well, they had Hexagonal Flower Layers by Tomoko Fuse in Tanteidan 14. Its not exactly a tesselation, but it clearly falls in the 'single sheet geometric' category, very similar to your submissions.

Maybe you just need to change your name? something like... say ... Andrew Fuse ...

has anyone folded the kamiyas cerberus yet? i was thinking of buying this book but i looked at the crease pattern for cerberus on the cover and the crease pattern that was published in the tanteidan magazine and they seem to be different. did kamiya edit the cp a little bit or is the cerberus in this book a different version?

This is a simplified version, mainly when it comes to the smaller creases near the heads.... at the end of the diagrams he compares this version (1.1) with the original (1.0)

Still worth buying the book for tho'

About the Cerberus, Kamiya-san said that he likes version 1.0 than version 1.1, but to draw diagram easily, he chose version 1.1.

So does anyone have picture of how to fold the heads of 1.0???

I'm now completely convinced that some of the models in the convention books are just randomly chosen from the pool of submissions...

I'm trying to fold the Cutie Cat and having difficulty with steps 48 - 52. Can anyone please help? I'm folding this as a surprise gift for this girl who I know is crazy about Hello Kitty.

Thanks in advance!
