Color Change Letters
Is there any way to color change paper so it shows any series of letters? If not, is there are a good base for doing this?
Edit: Sorry, my wording was unclear. I meant to ask if you could color change paper to form a word or name.

Re: Color Change Letters
I know it's been done before, but I can't remember by whom. Someone else probably knows more.

It's called Typeset and it is by Jason Ku and the diagram appears at OUSA Convention 2010 book.

Re: Color Change Letters
Recently I found a link on the internet to the complete alphabet in Origami.
Apparently these are designed by Fumiaki Shingu.
Hope this helps![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Color Change Letters
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was asking if it would be possible to color change a single square piece of paper to create a word.

Re: Color Change Letters
Yes, it is possible to create entire color-changed words from a single square. I think Sy Chen has done this to some extent with his signage series. Each word is likely to require a very different design. Short words like "I" are much easier!
Re: Color Change Letters
I do like Jeannine Mosely's simple alphabets:

Now... what about ONE-fold version?

I made a word-tessellation: gives you 3x5 blocks of pixels from a 24x24 grid, only visible when backlit

Re: Color Change Letters
It is possible to colour change the paper to get words, but it is rather complicated, since you always need both sides of the paper. A far easier approach is to use a tessellation to write words. They are not colour changed but rather easy to write and read.
Here are some examples by Evan Zodl and Alessandro Beber:

Re: Color Change Letters
A bit late for an answer, but I was struggling to fold words from a single sheet (ok: actually a strip of two-colored paper) for some times, and finally published recently a short paper in "Le Pli", the journal of the MFPP, the french paperfolding association.noneuclidean wrote: ↑June 30th, 2016, 10:07 pm Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was asking if it would be possible to color change a single square piece of paper to create a word.

Re: Color Change Letters
So the best way is to use two-tone paper. Although it is not easy to find it, not every store will find paper of good density and strength.
