This is high intermediate model that utilizes grafts on a simple base. Folders who attempt the model should be prepared to divide a sheet into fifths, estimate thirds, and make several "subjective" folds without reference points during the final shaping phase. The sample is made from 35x35 cm Japanese foil and is approximately 10 cm tall.

Folding Islamic Patterns

Level: 
Intermediate
Creator(s): 
Kamikyodai (myself)
Teacher(s): 
Ricardo Hinojosa

This class will focus on the relationship that paper folding has to the geometric construction of patterns, in this case, the historical ornamental genre of Islamic Patterns. These are known for both their complex and simple star arrangements, as well as for their varying presence in many parts of the world, from Turkey to Iran to India to Spain to Syria with unique character and flair. There is no evidence that craftsmen from olden times used origami to construct or analyse patterns, but we shall see here that there is much that origami can offer.

This is a complex walrus with color-changing tusks. The length of the folded walrus will be half the side length of the original square. Regular kami-thickness is fine, layers will bunch at the nose so kami that resists tearing will come in handy.

Louise's Star by José Meeusen

Level: 
High Intermediate
Creator(s): 
José Meeusen
Teacher(s): 
Deb Pun

José Meeusen, a long-time origami designer from the Netherlands, is known for her geometric modulars, stars, wreaths and containers.
Louise's Star looks like it has many layers but is folded from 1-sheet of paper. This design incorporates a twist fold, satisfying folding sequence and a nice result.
This star requires a series of accurate pre-creasing for the twist fold and precise pinches. Be comfortable with creating creases that do not go across the paper. The points of the star requires an unusual combination of hooded swivel fold then a rabbit ear fold.

Chris Alexander's Jellyfish

Level: 
Intermediate
Creator(s): 
Chris Alexander's Jellyfish
Teacher(s): 
Chris Alexander

The Jellyfish looks best with 2 color paper. I recommend 10 inch (25cm) duo color. The tentacles will be the back color of the paper. There is one sink fold and the rest are simple rabbit ear and petal folds.

Springtime Rose and calyx

Level: 
High Intermediate
Creator(s): 
Andrey Hechuev
Teacher(s): 
Andrey Hechuev

Elegant and quite simple model of rose, looks very realistic. Once learned it you can't stop yourself from folding more and more =)
It has the unusual structure and smart lock system. We will twist and reverse one simple base to achieve an easy to shape form. Easy shaping, no need for special techniques or materials.
Even if we start from the square the resulting flower has soft curves and very natural appearance.
Stackable calyx model (extra sheet) completes the model: it permits insert stems and creates compositions.
