Origami Roses - Read Me!
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie on this website and I've been trying to make the famous Kawasaki rose for a girl at school as a surprise but I'm having trouble with it. I've been following the diagram off of Joseph Wu's website and steps 1-24 is very easy but when i get to step 25 everything just falls apart.
I was wondering if any of you pros can help me out with this step or point me to a much better looking rose, I would appreciate it very much.
Also, what type of paper would suit this project because I've only been using construction paper and typing paper.

welcome to the board
I don't know which version of the rose you mean, but you should check out that page:
http://www.cattail.nu/rose/rose.html
it could answer some of your questions

the rose with the diagonal creases is a little harder than the old one. maybe you should try out the simple rose first.
clear diagrams are inside "origami for the connoisseur" ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 09-9493456 )

Try looking for Canson or Strathmore papers. They're heavy weight papers and can be wetfolded fairly nicely. Most craft stores like Michael's or AC Moore's should have them. I don't know about NYC, but if you're in upstate NY, the only way (as far as I know) to get elephant hide is through online order.Rockman000 wrote:I want to try wet folding one but I can't seem to find the right paper, elephant hide or Wyndstone Paper.

First of all, there's an error in those diagrams. Caveat emptor. Second, the grid shows or doesn't show depending on the paper you use. Softer paper results in a barely visible grid which does not detract from the beauty of the rose. And it is definitely more beautiful than the one in Origami for the Connoisseur.BigFIFan wrote:I have seen Winston Chan's New Rose diagrams on Joseph Wu's website for years and years and have yet to fold it. To be honest, the folding sequence has turned me away. The fact that the square is folded into a grid makes me worry that the final model will result in a criss-crossed rose and look very unappealing.
Are my fears founded? I've seen pictures of the rose folded and haven't noticed the gridwork on the final result. I'm very intersted in everybody's comments on this sucker. Convince me to fold it!
Note that Kawasaki's version of the diagrams for this rose appear, along with several other roses he's designed, in his book, Bara to origami to suugaku to (Roses, Origami, & Mathematics).

So the English version of Rose, Origami and Mathematics has finally been released.
I think it contains diagrams for two roses - the new rose and a tubular one with small colour-changed leaves.
Here are a couple of links to descriptions of the original Japanese version of the book:
David Lister
HATORI Koshiro
I don't know for sure if the new English version has exactly the same diagrams.
The new rose is also diagrammed in Kawasaki's Origami Dream World: Flowers and Animals, along with the one minute rose. There's a description of this book - and some photos of the models - at Gilad Aharoni's site.

You might be able to order it from Sasuga Books or Kim's Crane.
