Im having issues with the end of it. I have tucked... and folded in every possible way and it doesn't look anything like the end of the video. I did find a way to end up with four yellow visble sections and 4 white alternating... but they don't look like a petal as it does in the video. can anyone explain in detail whats going on in the end of the video.... I really wanna make one of these.
i made one as a mid term project, very relaxing =) but for some reason mine took around 46, dunno why.. anyhoo i gave it to my nan for her bithday and she hung it up with thin string, so if the light shines on it, it looks like its just floating =)
I like the look of this, and would like to try it, but am I the only one who does not get the final third of the video? It just gets to the unfold bit and then cuts out.
i know that you've gotten a lot of comments about this, but it really is a problem... your hands just make it too hard to figure out what you are doing in the last two steps, I got the whole way without any problems, until you unfolded it. great ible though
I hate glue as well. I find it a pain to wait for it to dry, and it's too messy. I just use hot glue instead, it takes less than a minute to harden and it's much cleaner than ordinary glue.
Traditionally these are sewn together at the point of each piece, which I found a total pain! So I used glue :D Sewing makes the whole ball "looser", as the pieces are free to move around a bit.
I've been making Kusudama to give as ornaments using a different fold for the flowers. I absolutely love this fold, you can really use it alone as well! Great Job :)
This is great! I've done a few origami things that needed a lot of small pieces, and I just did a few at a time a day. Works the fingers out, and the brain, too. Thanks for sharing it! And I'm sorry, anyone calling origami and other thoughtful activities "time wasters" has a problem with their attention span.
Pretty nice, but... Origami has developed wonderful standardized symbols and terms for explaining how to fold the different figures, and in general they work pretty well. Video seems to me to be an inefficient way of presenting such instructions. Now, what would be pretty neat is a video that went through the basic symbols and had a video example of each fold, perhaps including an example from the middle of one of the more complex models where the fold is used, as well as a simple example. I know I've gotten to points in models where the instructions say "reverse squash fold the point at A", and I'm like "huh?" Have you got anything like that in your metacafe collection?
Hi, no I haven't got a video like that, but I think it might be a good idea to make one! Origami instructions are generally pretty easy to follow, but I think video is just a way of introducing the origami to a wider audience.
