is there anyone who will deliver these rolls to an indian reservation in northern alberta?

nice one wolf. should have known to ask you first. I just have to wait till I have a place I live in permanantly. i'd hate to have to shift it every time i moved. Might be moving up north in canadia soon though... lots of time for origami up there

I too am looking for huge paper and can't find it anywhere. if you find it, let us all know!

have u ever done the normal four-petalled one? because i had trouble with the five petal one too even after doing the four-petalled. I suggest that if you havent done the four then try to crawl before u walk. kawasaki roses are the devil to do the first time round, but get easier. one day i will man...

I love the six-sided kawasaki! any chance of diagrams? if not, any chance of a crease pattern? not that i've ever succeeded in using one but i'd be prepared to try until my fingers bled for that!

if you can use modular origami (lots of sheets attached without glue) then you could use what they call a sonobe module, and make an icosahedral shape or a more complex egg-like shape... it'd then be covered in cube-corner pyramids, very good for shock absorption, especially made out of paper that w...

what exactly are the rules? can you only use one sheet of paper? does it have to be precisely folded or can you scrumple?. I think ideally you want lots of layers, separated by strengthening struts. Probably something involving corrugation would work, although i dont know how to make it spherical (o...

I feel really stupid now. i tried to make this by printing the CP and couldnt do it. it seemed to me for a long time that extra diagonal creases were needed so after trying for ages without them i gave up and put them in but it still wouldnt collapse properly... it seemed like it ought to but it wan...

i prefer having the information and some real money in my pockets

You need the book. "kusudama origami" by tomoko fuse. or you might find what u want by using amazon's bloody silly "search inside" option.

how to make people not buy your books: put all the pages up as pictures on your website, available for free to the public.

I think it looks more like a mouse. An aardvark is good, though... you'd have to make it from pink paper for that. basically anything rodenty depending on the exact proportions

i doubt he came all the way to england from florida in order to go to an origami convention. there are some people in the world who dont even think origami is interesting. I'm really sorry to let you down but family comes first

Anna... please don't kill me.... My new brother in law is coming this weekend and staying until after the convention is over. I don't think i can get away with going. It's a choice between being killed by you and being killed by my wife... i hope u can see that an austrian who doesnt have my address...

apologies. i admit i didnt read the rules and shouldnt have shouted. i will edit. but please read it as if i was shouting or chanting, or otherwise you won't understand the urgency of the matter

why would you delete that? i was just showing enthusiasm. dont be such an old fuddy-duddy
