Flower Poems

The Bent Flower
There once was a flower,
Who, at an untimely hour,
Began to crook to one side.
The poor little flower,
Would no longer tower,
In the field full of green grass and snow.
But from yonder came a man,
With nothing but a pan,
And sat by the badly bent flower.
And the man sat with the flower day and night,
Helping it get through its plight,
But came the following day.
That within an hour,
The man who sat with the flower,
Was gone like night during day. Tro Missaelian

This week we've got something unusual-- a geometric model with a proof attached! This is an algorithm to produce an approximation of a parabola.
Diagrams here. For additional help, here's a youtube video showing how to extend the process a little bit. |

This weekend is the Pacific Coast Origami Conference in San Francisco. Andrew and I will both be there. Since we will be having such and awesome time at the convention, I thought it would be nice to pass a little awesome onto y’all.
This is my favorite diagram of the year. Not just my favorite Origami Weekly release, but my favorite, period.
This week we present to you diagrams for Shuki Kato’s Spinosaurus.
Yes, you read that right. 130 steps.
The Spinosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to find these sitting in my inbox some weeks ago.
Who knew diagonal box-pleating could be so fun!
Spinosaurus - Shuki Kato
The version above was folded by me, Jared, from a 35 cm square of double MC tissue paper. It is slightly modified to have more pronounced spines, and a forward-pointing sail, as is my favorite interpretation.
Many thanks to my friend Shuki! |

Happy Halloween!
Andrey Ermakov surprised us by sending some very very nice diagrams for his spider! Perfect for Halloween.
Spider - Andrey Ermakov
Something creepy and crawly for Halloween, to go with Andrew's Witch from earlier. Also, head on over to Andrew's Flickr for some Crazy Jack (o Lantern) action: www.flickr.com/photos/ahudson/2990136227/
The Spider in the photo was designed and folded by Andrey Ermakov. Andrew and I have just been too busy preparing for PCOC. |
