new twist tessellation (backlit) Originally uploaded by Origomi. I’ve been working on some new patterns; pop over to flickr here and take a look at what I’ve been up to. most recent things are in the “work in progress” set.

a new hexagonal tessellation Originally uploaded by Origomi. horrible phonecam snaps. but the point gets across, I think. interesting stuff using lots of 30 degree angle folds! they start to get a little tricky once they get that small. Uff da!

Tiny Origami Cranes Originally uploaded by coda. this reminds me of my wife’s crane mobile. very snazzy stuff.

My wife is being very kind and is picking up some egg forms from a craft shop today- we’re going to try a number of variations of fitting paper to egg, and see if it sparks any ideas. I’m wondering if I can pull off a curve-based fold pattern. that would be very surprising and particularly cool. since she’s the artistic one between the two of us, I’m hoping she’ll help with some decoration aspects. I’d rather fold something that looks nice, rather than the normal folds of mine that just use whatever paper is handy!

hexagons from square Originally uploaded by fo.ol. fo.ol on flickr folded a really spectacular hexagonal array- this is some nice paper, and the result is fantastic. definitely a fave! from a distance they almost look like pinwheels.
