The Origami Forum

Dear fellow folders,

I want to start a project with the target to give every participant a
nice Christmas present. That´s the way: 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participate sends me (at least) one previously unpublished folding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 of can send his/her instructions to
"origamibook AT gmail DOT com"

Closing date is December 15.

I'd love to take part, but sadly I don't have any christmas designs I'll have to get designing

It doesn't have to be Christmas designs. It's meant as a Christmas gift from designers/diagrammers for other designers/diagrammers. You give one (or more) diagram(s) as a gift and get many in return

I'll have to get diagramming!

Hand drawn in JPEG format?
I can't draw diagrams on the ompurter, so all of mine are hand drawn, which I would have to take a picture of, that ok?

I personally have to stick with mspaint Takes me hours, but I feel great when I'm finally done

Hand drawn works for me...
You can use Inkscape which is free and vector based. Probably better than MS paint..... lol

Crease patterns too? Not just a crease pattern, but like diagrams for model X and a crease pattern for model Y

I'm thinking about sending a few sets of diagrams, and a crease pattern or two. I think that crease patterns would be fun.

As soon as I figure out how to do everything on Inkscape (thank you Aznman) I will diagram my rabbit. If I design anything else, I will try to digram it, too

Hand drawn diagrams are good enough

If you want to send crease patterns please don´t forget to submit a picture of the finished model as well.

will my step by step pics of the sparrow work? or..uhmmm does it ruin it that everyone has seen it already

So, who is still learning how to design is somewhat out of this, right?
The idea of the project is really nice!
I hope it will work well!

Well you have nearly two months to come up with something, just keep it simple

Hi,

I was kind of hoping to read a reply to Morgan's query. Will step-by-step photos work or does it have to be diagrams?

Himanshu.

Step by step photos are ok with me as long as they aren´t published elsewhere (e.g. this Forum).
