Extreme origami challenge!
Posted: May 6th, 2010, 6:22 pm
Here's one for all you adventurous types!
Post an image of either you folding in an unusual environment, or the finished model. The wackier or more left-field the idea, the better. Google 'extreme ironing' for a similar concept.
Here are a couple of starters:
1) Laparoscopic origami. I had a small article published a while back in British Origami showing a swan folded with a laparoscopic simulator. I was using the simulator as part of a surgical skills course, when I was challenged to do some origami with it. What followed was perhaps the most pathetic swan ever folded. But if I ever need to fold a swan inside someone's abdomen, I know I'll be up to the challenge.

2) Loch Ness origami. Designed and folded on the shore of Loch Ness while on holiday in Scotland. Link : http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/gallery/fantasy17.html
