During our first "bigger" Origami meeting in Vienna (we were able to increase our size by 50% from 2 to 3 people, yay ^_^) I by chance discovered this beautiful flower while actually folding something completely different

It's amazingly simple to fold and I hope to get it diagrammed soon.
It also has the nice feature to be able to pop open and pop close again .... hard to describe .... you'll see once you folded it after I finished with the diagrams ^_^

So long and keep folding :-)

Is that by any chance some kind of bird base rose with a sunken tip? Looks nice!

No, it´s made from some kind of waterbomb base and has a nice twist fold step inside. Best of all is that it can jump if you press the edges down :)

Diagrams for my "Diamondrose Squarejumper" are now available at the Origami Austria Homepage :D (just switch to German if you prefer German language diagrams ^_^ )

Have fun with this model :wink:

Today, in a long, long folding session, Anna (green) and me (red) folded Lang's Black Forest Cuckoo Clock, from very nice wrapping Kraftpaper.

We started with 20cm x 2m sheets and ended up with cuckoo clocks about 12cm x 28cm x 3cm in size.

Great work Gerwin and Anna,
the photo story is very interesting.
12 hours for all of that still seems fast to me :)

I never really took the time to take pictures of my work, because I usually just give it away (It would become scrap sitting around the house) and two, I don't have a digital camera. X3 So what I did when I made Wu's Eastern Dragon was just scan it.

The wrapping paper I chose for it turned out to be too thin, as it was too floppy around the middle. I used a 4x1 square, so the tail is a little short.

I ended up giving it to my Flight Commander. :3

Sorry its so big :x

I modified Satoshi Kamiya's Wizard to fold The Emeror From Star Wars.

And I modified his Orca to fold a Narwhal.
