Somethings Bugging Me

Wanda's Designs A genius with polymer clay.

Ulla Norup Milbreth: Who I want to be when I grow up.

Wanda's Designs: Go see her teapots too.

Ulla Norup Milbreth: Yep, still want to be creative like her.

Kup Kup Land: A unique sense of creative style.

June Bugs In July: Brings back the Girl Scout badge memories.

Hansigurumi: How does one even begin a project like this?

Liz Vandel: If I could do it all over again, I'd join the circus and wear this.

Chosetec : Big deal. I could do this too.
If I had a three month supply of coffee and a truck load of paper.

The seventh axiom

Who would have ever thought that after finding Huzita's six axioms Hatori could have found a seventh!

WOW!

This must be why I took geometry in school. I knew someday it would come in handy!

Pattern

Folds

Miracle

Origami just ain't what it used to be now that MIT is involved.

See this work of Robert Lang.

Through my search for more info I also came across Brian Chan.

Brian has been creating his own folds as well as folding for Robert Lang.

What does an MIT student do with a dead insect you ask?

Why, recreate it out of one sheet of paper of course!

Brian gives a great description on how to create this mask here. Just one sheet of paper and he says 15 minutes of your time. It took me 2o minutes. I forgot Hatori had found the seventh axiom. :(

Some of these photos I took at the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Folk Art. The show The Shape of Things: Paper Traditions and Transformations

is going on now until February 15, 2009
