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.

Metamorphosis, by Andrew Hudson

Thursday, 31 December 2009

Metamorphosis, by Andrew Hudson, originally uploaded by Origami Weekly.

One last diagram for 2009... this is a Flexagon I designed last october during the Octagons for October challenge at the Origami Tessellations group. I was inspired by Yami Yamauchi's Fireworks modular, and set out to replicate the effect with a single sheet of paper.

The model in the video was wetfolded from 10" x 20" Canson Colorline paper, colored with various spraypaints. Diagrams are here.

I've posted a video of the flexagon in motion here.

And to bring things full circle, we'll end 2009 as we started it: with a new Snowflake CP from Jared. Happy New Year everyone!
