I've folded Kawasaki's rose tessellation again (the one from the cover of Origamido, not the one reverse engineered by Valerie Vann). This time I've done it right.

Have to try a 6x6 version next.

are there any diagrams for that rose-tesselation? it's fantastic, I nearly felt down the chair

that's what I have folded lately:

some paint tubes

Kamiya's Pegasus
(I think that model is much better when folded as it is on the picture in the book)

Kamiya's Unicorn, that turned out pretty small

Marc Kirschenbaums Helicopter

BOS magazine 228 (October 2004) has a crease pattern drawn up by Jane Rosemarin for what she thought was the Origamido field of roses. (I thought it was too - the old rose tessellation photo that I've now taken down from my album was based on a pattern like this.)

Page 36 of issue 229 (December 2004) has a corrected crease pattern, where the slope of the square grid is slightly different and the twist folds are further apart from each other, causing the roses to rotate more and the model to look more curvy. The new photo on my album is based on this pattern.

Note that it's possible to find all the necessary creases using a precreased grid only half as dense as the one shown in Jane's crease patterns.

Jane recommends folding a large grid and trimming paper off at the edges at the correct angle to get an offset grid. This is probably the easiest way to get the angled grid but is wasteful both in the amount of paper used and in the amount of precreasing you'll have to perform. Folding the grid at an angle to the square to start with is trickier but more efficient.

Very nice models Chris!

John, what type of paper did you use? Are those roses folded with a square or is it similar to the tutorial here

Also,

Can anyone confirm whether Sebastian Curvers' Dragon diagrams inside B.O.S. Autumn Convention Pack 2002 & Origami USA Convention 2003 are actually "identical"?

I like that Kirschenbaum helicopter. It's stylised but cute, like a vehicle from a childrens' television program.

I folded the rose tessellation (linked to above) from a square of elephant hide. (Tough paper is good for this model because of the amount of precreasing involved.)

It's the same (or nearly the same) tessellation as the top photo on Galen Pickett's web page. It's quite different from the rose cluster that he gives the tutorial for, though.

I folded Lang's Dragonfly from the crease pattern. The first time I had trouble figuring out the shaping so I shaped different.

I tried it again, I still don't think I got the shaping exactly right. I also folded the wings different.

very well done, Phil

I like the first version more, because it has a closed back and the wings are completely horizontal.

This is my first attempt at Satoshi KAMYIA's Ancient Dragon found in <u>Works of Satoshi KAMIYA 1995-2003</u>.

I used a square of indigo dyed 3D mulberry paper that was around 22 inches.

I did some of the finishing with wet folding to get things to stay the way I wanted them. I believe, all told, it took me four or five hours to fold it, but I didn't do it all in one sitting.

I'm not really happy with how some of the details turned out, but I guess I can't complain too much, since I did manage to finish it and it doesn't look totally horrible.

I tried to figure out Joseph Wu's Displacer Beast. Here's a picture with Satoshi Kamiya's Wizard.
