I love round folds.

Richard Sweeny posted this pic on Flickr. Man is it beautiful. Round folds in paper are so elegant. I made an attempt at a round folded model from Kunihiko Kasahara's Extreme Origami. I am an origami retard, folding paper for years and I still haven't come up with a model of my own. I just like to sit and fold paper. Once again, art therapy in the day room.
I would once again like to state that this model of Richard's is friggin' brilliant.

Folding paper plates

The geometry site, Whole Movement.Com has models folded from nine inch paper plates. It has a few basic diagrams, but after the basics, it leaves the rest of the artistry up to your inner geometry geek. AV clubs of the world unite!
The theories presented are not only important in math and science but in art as well. In both two dimensions and three. The whole site is pretty neat. If you are just looking for diagrams, click the "how to " section.

Reality Avoidance Technique #157 - Modular Origami

I started working with models from Tomoko Fuse's book Fabulous Origami Boxes today. Ms. Fuse is one of my favorite origami artists. Talented and prolific, with a sense of form and style that shows in her pieces.I have ignored this book for several months now, having moved to other things. What a wonderful book. The modular nature or the models allows the folder to make a fairly large box. Even with really large paper, most single sheet containers are too small to really be useful.
I find the functional beauty of origami containers fascinating.This model is folded from plain origami paper. I hope to make the model from better paper soon, but with all the scatterbrained stuff I do on a day to day basis, I'll be lucky if I make another.
