Just saying.

It's simpler to start with a circle and fold a pentagon onto it. Then, you use the edge of the circle to guide the curved folds in the model.

I would need to see a side shot -- that's the hard part. The rose is foldable from an unmarked circle.

The intensely partisan oschene will be in New York, fighting the power by teaching a couple models and maybe a technique or two.

Phu Tran has made it very clear he doesn't want people folding his rose. He probably doesn't even want you to be thinking about it. Please try something else.

Hey Cupcake,

That's Hebrew and I've yet to find a web interface that translates Hebrew. But paperz' point is well taken - they are admirably clear diagrams.

Mélisande* has posted some lovely photos of the first origami tessellation convention in Brasilia, just concluding, as we speak. http://www.flickr.com/photos/melisande-origami/sets/72157594228015402/ Eric Gjerde has some nice ones, too http://www.flickr.com/photos/origomi/sets/72157594211339019/ ht...

How much do 20 fags cost in England now? It was around a pound, when I lived there.
