Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Amazing vase, Rebecca! I think I may try to fold one of your designs one of these days.

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Thanks, James! I've got a few crease patterns on my website, and I'm working on putting more together.
Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Great piece and the colour is really outstanding. Do you paint it with a brush or do you use any special technique?

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Thanks so much! This one was painted with a 1/2-inch flat brush and dabbing the paint on to create a texture. But I've also used a variety of other painting techniques - something else I want to write about on my website sometime!

Thank you! Since my folding style is pretty far from what most people are used to, I would love for more people to be able to try it.chesscuber98 wrote:Wow! Your works are amazing! You are also very generous to share your techniques on your website!

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
I finally drew a crease pattern for the diagonal shift I have been using recently:

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Continuing in my diagonal shift series, this piece is the first to incorporate two diagonal shift elements in the same model. Folded from one uncut rectangle of Elephant Hide, painted (before folding) with acrylics.

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Beautiful. I think I might try folding one of your patterns. Is there a secret as to how they fold together? Or is it the genius of the model itself that keeps it from falling apart?

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Thanks so much, Razzmatazz! I do typically use a little glue (at least to turn the rectangle of paper into a tube; sometimes a little more as needed) and fairly extensive wet-folding.
I've actually got some design and folding tips in an article in The Fold (http://origamiusa.org/thefold/article/d ... ated-forms) and as a series of tutorials on my website (part 1: http://rebecca.gieseking.us/2012/12/tut ... d-forms-1/, part 2: http://rebecca.gieseking.us/2013/03/tut ... d-forms-2/, and part 3: http://rebecca.gieseking.us/2013/07/tut ... ted-forms/)

Re: Rebecca Gieseking
Wow! Multiple diagonal shifts? You must be the official master of the vases! Great work as always!
