Challenge # 2 is an Origami Crane Garland. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? How hard could folding paper be? I'll tell you. It made my brain hurt. But I am getting ahead of myself. Remember this from Scissor Variations ? image via Scissor Variations I have always wanted to try origami, and this little project of mine was the perfect excuse. Unlike last week's tea cup arrangement , this time I didn't wait until Sunday. Oh no. This time, I went to Pearl (a local discount art store) on Saturday with Mr. Foxy in tow, iPhone in hand so he could monitor soccer scores. ... Read Full Story

The bird base is essential for the most origami dragon models out there, since it is the most common starting pattern. It is important to know how to fold this base by heart, without any instructions, because much instructions on how to origami generally start with “begin with bird base”. This is exactly why I’ve made this little tutorial. When folded, it looks like this: Bird Base So, let’s begin. Or, as they say in Japan, hajimemashou ne. To begin all we need is a square sheet of paper of any size you want. If you don’t happen to have origami paper, it is ... Read Full Story

This is a first post in a series of posts, which would describe the basics of origami. Many origami models use a set of very common patterns, and their variations, and I think it is very important that you would be familiar with some of the most popular and simple ones. This one is called a Bird Base, and it is the most common pattern I can think of. Most of the origami instructions begin with the words "start from a bird base" or something like that. And origami dragons are not an exception. Here is what a bird base looks like. Note: All ... Read Full Story

The Fish Base The next post I planned to be another simple origami dragon tutorial. However, since this dragon begins from an origami pattern other than bird base, I decided first to make a tutorial about making this pattern, the fish base . It is one of the basic origami start patterns, so it is useful to remember it. Don’t worry newbies, there is nothing complex here We will start with a simple square and a diagonal fold. The second diagonal fold. Pull and fold the left and right corners towards the center to form a kite. Unfold the kite... ...and rotate it 180 ... Read Full Story

I'm not sure if this isn't more rightly called "paper sculpture" than origami. True it uses only one sheet of paper and there are no cuts, but, well...watch the video and you'll see what I mean. Besides getting to see the mushrooms themselves, which are almost photo-realistic, it's worth it to see how a master with 20 years of experience moves his hands.

think of it as origami – very high-tech origami. Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a technique for fabricating three-dimensional, single-crystalline silicon structures from thin films by coupling photolithography and a self-folding process driven by capillary interactions. The films, only a few microns thick, offer mechanical bendability that is not possible with thicker pieces of the same material.
