Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Dear all,
For the twelfths time there will be an Origami Christmas book this year.
This will be a book from creators to creators containing previously unpublished instructions only.
That's how it works:
Everyone who wants to participate sends me (at least) one previously unpublished folding instruction. Afterwards I assemble them all into a pdf-file with a table of contents and send it back to all participants. In the end everyone of them gets a nice compilation of diagrams that aren't available elsewhere.
Everyone who wants to take part can send his/her instructions to
Origamibook AT gmail DOT com
(Replace "AT" with "@" and "DOT" with ".")
The last date to send your instructions is December 15.
I'll send the book out on December 24 (hence the name Christmas Origamibook).
Last year I asked whether anyone has anything against making editions older than four or five years free to download. Since the response to this has been very positive, I will do so from now on. You can find links to the old editions at the end of this letter. The previous four editions are still only obtainable by additional diagrams for the book.
Hopefully many people will contribute to this project so that we´ll get a nice book together
Nice Greetings
Anna
PS: I'm glad for everyone to spread the word to other people, be it on Forums, Mailing lists or whatever else.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some questions (and their answers) that have been asked before:
* Do I need to send computer drawn diagrams?
No, hand drawn diagrams or other clear instructions (photo or text) count as well, but I need them electronically.
* Can I send more than one diagram?
Yes of course, as many as you want.
* Can I have a copy of the book without sending something in?
No, this project is thought as an exchange of folding instructions and not to earn money with it. If you don't have an own model to diagram maybe you can draw diagrams for someone else's model, so that you two can participate as one person. For help in finding someone see here:
viewtopic.php?t=1810
* Have the models to be Christmas related?
No they don't. Christmas is just the date you will receive the book.
* Can I send Crease Patterns and Text Instructions as well?
Yes, but make sure to also send a picture of the finished model.
Diagrams are preferred.
* Is it possible to obtain the books of the previous years?
Yes, by sending more than one unpublished diagram, you can "buy" the previous four editions (one book per additional diagram), older editions can be found at the links below.
If you send more than one diagram and want to obtain back issues please tell which one(s) you want.

Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
I'm happy to hear that! Since I am too busy to draw diagrams at the moment, I think I'll submit photo instructions for a book I took earlier this year. Maybe I can do a clean CP for my "Lady" and "Gentleman" additionally to compensate it.
Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Would be great.
Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long.

Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Two questions:
First, is this an ebook or a physical book? If it's a physical book, will you require our address to mail it?
Second, is there a range of complexity that you would like our models to be within?
Sorry if these questions have already been asked.

Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
It is an ebook, so I'll only need your email address and that I will get along with the diagrams.
As for the complexity, there are no real rules. This is less of a real book but really a yearly diagram exchange for creators. I collect the diagrams from everyone who wants to participate and at the end of the time send them out to everyone who participated together with an index. Of course the higher the complexity of the models you send, the higher the complexity of the ones you receive will be, but that wasn't the initial goal of the project.
It started of with two ideas in mind. The first to get a bunch of new unpublished diagrams for Christmas in form of a diagram exchange. And the second to motivate all the young designers we have on the Forum to draw diagrams for their models.

Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Ok, one more thing.
Is there a certain format you want us to use? For instance, do you want us to have our diagrams to snake through the page as is done in Satoshi Kamiya's books like
1 2 3 4
8 7 6 5
9 10 11
or do you want us to have it layed out like
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10

Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Whatever you like best. Personally I'm a fan of snake lines, but you can do whatever you prefer.
There is one thing though that makes compiling easier and that is if all the diagrams are in portrait mode.

There is an Oripa app that draws c ps...it's available on the Google play storeMotherOfThree wrote:I'm happy to hear that!

There are editing suites that transform a photo into a drawing
Depending on how detailed each step and how many frames to completion
You could always ask on the forum for some one who's great at copying to draw them for a joint credit if they are accepted....

Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Are there any rules/guidelines on publishing the instructions elsewhere after this book comes out? There's a model or two I'm thinking about submitting to other books as well.
Re: Christmas Origami Book 2017
Please do not publish the diagrams online until January is over. Afterwards you can publish them wherever you like.
