Biomimetic Origami: Planar Single-Vertex Multi-Crease Mechanism Design and Optimization

https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1702/13/3/240

Must have been building up more pressure than I thought. I needed to take a break from The Project, so I attacked the #origami paper. Ended up with a new flower bud model.

Now I have to find out if I re-invented this wheel

Origami pairs: Little birds (traditional, Satoshi Kamiya)

I still had Kamiya’s bird stored in a box, so less waiting time for my next pair of simple / complex origami.

A real treat: On Sunday I was one of the lucky ones to attend a zoom workshop where Beth Johnson taught the Baby Grand Piano by Patricia Crawford. This is the result of a fast paced hour of folding, without additional refinement. A fun fold and a great model from the early seventies!

Je l'ai plié dans du Chiyogami, en 15×15 cm. Ça passe, même si un carré de 20 cm serait plus confortable.

Et vous ? Quel poisson allez-vous plier aujourd'hui ?

Origami in the Ottoman Press, 1892 #Origami

Me he reencontrado con este autorretrato que me hice hace ya ¡cinco años! y sigue siendo de mis dibujos favoritos.

Las cosas han cambiado mucho en cinco años, tengo más canas y menos tiempo, pero me gusta esta versión de mí mismo.

The Collapse of the Cylindrical Wedge

#origami @origami

That is, a section of a cylinder where the planes intersecting are not parallel. The eye of the vortex appears to be one of the foci of the ellipse. Round objects added to stop the eye from normalizing the shape, as it *will* do, no matter how many times I've told it not to.
