Stacked-Triangles Originally uploaded by Owesen. This great new fold posted to flickr by Fredrik Owesen. twisty, spirally, somewhat 3d, and very, very cool. now I have to try to reverse engineer it! He’s got a small pile of new photos posted on flickr, so make sure to pop over and check out his photostream. it’s good stuff.
Browsing through Melisande’s photos again today, I saw these (which looked new to me!) Very nice! it’s somewhat like her fabulous sampan tessellation, but in an interesting rectangular grid. great work!
Un-named star fold, closeup Originally uploaded by Origomi. wow, I got my first nasty comment today! it’s actually pretty funny. I’m not sure what their objective was, but it made me laugh- so I guess it’s all good! http://www.flickr.com/photos/origomi/33174492/
Aztec Twist, tessellated, reverse, backlit Originally uploaded by Origomi. the reverse of this fold. did I mention I’m really happy with how this turned out? I took a zillion photos but none of them really make it look right. looking forward to building a lightbox and everything so I can capture these things properly!
Angry Sun God! (Aztec Twist, tessellated, backlit) Originally uploaded by Origomi. One of the most complicated things I have ever folded. I promised myself several months ago I would sit down and fold this (after completing the first step, which I diagrammed as a Simple Aztec Twist). Folding instructions for the first step are available online at my website (www.origamitessellations.com). I used orange kami for this, mostly because it was the right size and it was available when I started folding. If I ever fold another one of these, I will use something with more translucence and definitely more structural strength. Every tip of the paper in this fold is frayed due to the many, many times it was folded and unfolded. I hope you enjoy this model, as I certainly was pleased with how it turned out. I hope to capture some better photos once I build a lightbox, but for now I think this will work. This origami model also shows the directions I’ve been taking lately, moving towards more layered and complex …
