In this blog inspired by Wolf, I showcase models that I design and post information of interest to the origami folder. I also have a photostream in Flickr (the link is down there). Do enjoy your visit here and don't forget to tag or leave a few comments on my work! If you have folded any of my models, please send their pictures to me, and I will be delighted to publish them in this blog. By the way, please check out the "Important Links" below the archives; they are that important :) The "Origami Singapore" page has links to other folders from Singapore. Have fun!

Origami Cards

Sorry sorry sorry sorry for killing this blog for two months, I've been really busy and tired all this time... forgive me forgive me T_T

I hope not many people stopped visiting this blog because of the lack of activity...

I shall do a post stuffed with pictures to make up for it ^_^

First up is a random doodle that I did during Biology class because I was too bored.



I made it out of an envelope I found in class:



You might be able to see how I folded it now =D

Next up is a folded version of the 202 class logo created by tiong suan.





Please don't kill me if it looks crappy, because 1) I was bored and tired at that time 2) This was a prototype that I did with printing paper 3) 30% of my mind was on the Beijing Olympics Opening

The following are the most important; remember the building blocks? Well, instead of using a boring square grid, why not use an equilateral triangle grid instead? I came up with a hexagonal and triangular building block...







and this is what they look like from the flipside...





Warning: the previous picture might prove to be misleading if you use it to try and figure out the folding method.

The above models can function like building blocks; their dimensions can be varied to a certain extent.

Surprisingly, I also managed to fold a little tetrahedron sticking out of the paper.





The flipside...



Mysteriously, this picture always turned out rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise when I tried to upload it on blogger. The problem was solved when I rotated the picture file myself one whole round then trying again.

Its negative version...



... and its flipside.



Finally, here's a cool model that I did during the Origami Singapore meetup today



Cool, eh?

Hmmm I might post CPs some other day... *yawn*

seeya~

Nice stuff! I like the hexagon and triangles.

Your cross was quite popular on flickr, it is actually my most popular photo. Perhaps you should start an account...
