I am always on the lookout for interesting folds, this one was shared on a fakebook group as a photsequence on Flickr:
A fun folding technique, and a fascinating fractal pattern gradually converges towards the centre of the original octagon. Continue reading
People think a 365 challenge is all beer and skittles, well there was a number of things I learned this time through that might be worthy of reflection.

What follows is a lengthy rant, strap yourself in if you are game: Continue reading
I have a long and terrifying “fold me” list of models I will one day get around to – this was on it:
An excruciating fractal tessellation that eats paper like few other folds, based on spiral collapses of a dodecagon that then gets turned inside out to make the next level to collapse.
The unfold and re-collapse stages (I did 3, but theoretically could keep going getting smaller and smaller) looks like it is going to hell in a handbasket, then it sort of just sorts itself out in a magic sort of way. Continue reading
Riccardo Foschi has a magic sense of design in his models, and this cartoon rabbit is a real charmer:
As an exercise in box pleating, this model takes a 12 x 24 square grid and, via a. Are fully designed collapse teases arms, legs, tummy and detailed head while providing enough paper to model those features in a fun way. Continue reading
So when I asked for suggestions on what to fold, Janet suggested a Starfish which prompted me to try Riccardo Foschi’s model:
Made from a pentagon, a lovely little fold that has some charming qualities. Continue reading
