The Origami Forum

I had a look at the unit, and you should be able to get the parts from your local electronics or hobbyist store. You'll need to hook them up yourself though. Online, you can probably get them from RS Australia: http://australia.rs-online.com/web/ The ones Kawamura used are 120 degree viewing angle L...

You'll want to look into hydrogen bonding - that's essentially what holds the paper fibers together. Adding sizing agents like MC enhances the bonding between the fibers, and helps hold it in shape when dry.

Here's a good resource on the papermaking process:

Actually, the shaping just involved a lot of methylcellulose and skooshing.

I know that it's up to us to come up with the features, but I just meant the techniques for the flaps themselves. What I'm trying to say, is that some people (like myself) will fold the dwarf, and see these 3 or 4 flaps, and think that you just twist one flap and get a nose, lower one and get a mou...

It won't be photos of all possible models, but only of biological organisms that exist on Earth. That means no unicorns or dragons.

Yes, a search on flickr would work, but it's not a place where you can simply browse at random. I'm thinking something similar to this:

Why? Just because.

2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity, and a lot of interesting projects are going on under this theme. For example, the Phylomon project: http://www.phylomon.org/ So here's an idea - how about a gallery of biodiversity, origami style? Photos would be community contributed, and organised ac...

We finally got a preliminary website up:

Announcements of upcoming meetups (there's one this Sunday, 17 Jan) and other events can be found on the website.

It's Dungeons and Dragons. The dice are described using the d X notation, where X is the number of faces, and hence the range of random number it generates: d4 = 4 faces (tetrahedron) d6 = 6 faces (cube - your usual 6-sided die) d8 = 8 faces (octahedron) and so on. Montroll's polyhedra lead to unbal...

Well, okay, I'll comment from the other side of the gender wall. Take all of these with a micromole of NaCl, if you will. It's not about model originality * , or about how it looks ** . It's about the effort put in by the guy to show how much he cares. Even if it looks like something the cat dragged...

HQ PaperMaker sells non-patterned washi. It's been mentioned on this forum a few times (use the search function). The most informative articles on washi, especially in the origami context, are the ones by Joseph Wu ( http://www.origami.as , under articles) and Robert Lang ( http://www.langorigami.c...

Moorcock rocks!

And Girl Genius trails closely behind.
