Origami ambigrams

Post by Alexandre »

For people who like ambigrams, there are a few ambigrams about origami...

vertical axis on "origami" : http://www.scottkim.com/inversions/gallery/origami.html

"mountain fold"/"valley fold" :

These are great. If you like ambigrams there's a whole book off them by John Langdon, called "Wordplay" (available through Amazon). They're very clever and often very artistic.

Another book, called "Can You Believe Your Eyes?" by J. Richard Block and Harold Yuker, also has a few, including one that reads "Tokyo" in one direction and the Japanese equivalent in another (using Japanese characters).

You know, ambigrams was first created by John Langdon, and in Angels & Demons there is a main character named Robert Langdon. And then I saw this thread exist in the forum. I you read carefully, you'll see something. Robert Langdon. :lol:

PS I watched the movie and it's very interesting!

@Alexandre: The second (and subsequently the third, since they are the same :P) link don't work. At least they don't for me, but still.

@Kijjakarn: Have you read the book of Angels and Demons? If you haven't, I really suggest that you do. It's quite a compelling read.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

To ftangdude55:
I haven't read the book yet. I recommend the movie. It's very interesting!!

To everyone:
I found a cool ambigram generator website. Here: http://www.flipscript.com/ambigram-generator.aspx

P.S. I like the Angels & Demons Sculpt
