What have you folded lately?

[Damian Malicki]

Stag beetle (from "insects and their kin") designed by Robert Lang, folded by me using 30 cm Mulberry paper with MC (wet folding) and painted using black spray paint:

Great stag beetle, Damian! I find those difficult to shape well, specially the legs.
Here is the last model I folded, Komatsu's pig:

For those interested, the CP is available here: http://origami.gr.jp/~komatsu/gallery/s-pig.html

Thak you. Yes, legs were hard to shape, especially because I've noticeably modified those from the diagram - in the diagram legs are shaped using simple reverse-folds .

@Mir Numaan Your dt turned out very well!
@Damian Malicki The stag beetle looks amazing! I like it how you shape the insects!
@martini Both folding and photo look brilliant! The paper suits the model very well. What paper is it?

GrossMichael, thank you!

For the pig, I used a very thick recycled paper, but don't know how to call it in english - maybe cardboard? It is perfect for wet folding, though this model in particular is dry folded.

I've been experimenting with folding and photography. a new version of the photosynth software seems to have some nice implications for origami especially for more three dimensional models where you can never quite find that perfect angle. Feel free to check out the link below for a mixture of new and old folds and better yet, try it out for yourself!

P.S. i'm in no way trying to advertise. just wanted to share what i think is an interesting approach to capturing our folds and show models we all know and love in a slightly different light

I've been following this site for years, and literally just made an account to tell you......this is amazing. I don't think it's advertising, I think it's actually pretty cool =) how did you come across photosynth?

Wow! Thanks a lot, Michael! I like your fold too!

[Swapnil Das]

uh... Michael, I think you meant Mir's DT turned out really well. I never made a DT in my life!
