Origami in art -- folding an origami pipe?
During the past few weeks I've been struggling to fold a paper pipe - as in a regular tobacco pipe. I haven't done much origami when I initiated this project, so I started out doing basic animal origami pieces. The pipe will be exhibited at my school as a part of an annual arts exhibition.
While I have gained some basic origami abilities, I'm still far from designing my own diagrams. Has anyone any knowledge of a pipe folding diagram, from a book/the internet/self-made? Or perhaps a folding diagram that could be tweaked into a pipe easily? I intend to exhibit the pipe filled with tobacco in order to inspire the specator to imagine what it must be like to actually smoke (from) the paper pipe. Of course it will burst into flames immediately, which is where the imaginative powers of the spectator should be stimulated.
I will post pictures of the exhibit when I have them.
Thanks a lot,
Sturla Gudmundsdottir

There's a very nice pipe by Ted Megrath in Origami - Paperfolding for Fun by Eric Kenneway which I think would be perfect for your purpose
So long and keep folding ^_^

Art class project, 'Flamin' origami on the go' revisited
As promised here are the pictures of the pipe. I didn't get around to take some decent stilleben pictures because I was so busy putting the pipe to good use.
I've just been asked to produce a vinyl record inlay with the folding diagram. I think I will post the finished diagram here if anyone should want to see what it looks like.
Thanks for your help.

How to create fun in 3 easy to follow steps
The pictures are taken on school territory so I stuck with good ol' MacBaren tobacco. I didn't bring enough of my father's crappy tobacco so I had to stuff it with an empty plastic bag.
The equation looks like this:
About time someone put flimsy and artsy origami to use! Does anyone know of any other examples of folding with a practical purpose?
Sturla.
The equation looks like this:
Code: Select all
MacBaren tobacco + plastic bag + shabby home made pipe = FUN!
Sturla.
