The Origami Forum

Hi all,

Long long time ago, I was thinking of locking the base of my hexagonal rose (and posted somewhere in this forum).


And now, I had the way to lock the base so that the base won't be loose. Here are three of the roses, where the folding is different for each one.


Feel free to comment.

beautiful! are you planning to give any kind of diagram or instructions I would love to learn this rose. Great job!

WOW!!
it's so beautiful!!
i't so realistic!
you should make this diagram!

Thanks all.

I'm not good at drawing origami diagram with software like freehand (indeed I don't have this software installed neither, ). I really appreciate those people drawing origami diagrams with computer, especially complex models, it requires much efforts.

I do know drawing CPs with the software Oripa (Though I found that the software cannot fold 3D origami CP, like the original Kawasaki rose). And I posted a CP of the rose previously (several months ago) in this forum. Hope I could find that thread out.

Is this the CP that you were trying to locate ?

Yup, that is.
Thanks
That's the CP for version 1

Those are very nice roses, Forum_acct!

As from the TOC of "Origami Tanteidan Convention book # 14" (viewtopic.php?t=4369) posted by halogen64, on page 3 there's one named "Hexagonal flower layers".
Don't know if that model and what I made are similar.

Or, if I draw diagrams for my models, is it likely to be published?
(If so, I would learn drawing on computer for this; while I know nothing about this at the moment)

Yes. It is worth the trouble to learn the software and the techniques for drawing diagrams of your excellent models. Most Conventions want original models. I think that some conventions will publish duplicates of special models - for example: Brian Chan and Robert Lang models may be published in multiple Convention books.

There will be a Christmas Book this year (I expect?) that will be published and distributed only to people who submit original models.

Also, if you are prolific and diagram a number of models, then you can publish your own booklets like Dave Brill and Quentin Trollip. They are generous, so when you have a few models diagrammed and you are ready to publish your own booklet, I trust that they will relate their experience.

So, my opinion is - if you diagram, then you can publish...

Not true for everyone, but I like your rose.

Thanks your words, Hank

Unfortunately, I have only few models right now and I think I have to be creative to make some new models before publishing (That is there's still long way to go ).

Of course, there will be one! Start diagramming as soon as possible!
