As an art of both abstract beauty and precise mathematical complexity, origami holds an infinite number of possibilities within the confines of a humble sheet of paper. Despite the apparent limitations of simply placing different folds on a flat plane, with a little bit of strategy almost anything can be achieved.
This page showcases all of my finished work. Selecting any of the buttons above will apply the named filter. For the sake of space efficiency and congruency I have decided to keep all versions of a single subject on a single page, but filtering the models by year will show different versions of the same subject corresponding to the development of the model over time. This will be more useful as I upload more of my work! All of the models featured here are original and were both designed and folded by me. I have designed many - over 70 - models, but I have not folded most of these and even fewer have turned out nicely. As a result of this, there are many huge gaps in my models' design numbering. I hope to eventually complete my long-term goal of folding and, if necessary, redesigning, each of my older models. There being so many of them, this may take a very long time, but I will post each model as I fold it. Updates will be posted on the home page, Flickr, Instagram, and sent to subscribers. Regarding my numbering system, I have decided to use a system similar to that used for computer software: a change in the design number (i.e. from 2.0 to 3.0) constitutes a complete redesign or other drastic change; a change in the decimal number (i.e. from 2.3 to 2.4) denotes a more minor revision. I adopted this system recently as I have invested more time into perfecting my designs through small, thorough revisions. The "creation" number might more be aptly called a subject number, and is based on the chronological order in which I first attempted to fold each topic. Finally, for those who may be unfamiliar with origami terminology, I readily admit that some of my model descriptions get a bit technical. If something doesn't make sense, I would encourage you to look up the word or phrase in OrigamiUSA's excellent Glossary. On that note, one of the abbreviations I use most frequently is "CP," which stands for "crease pattern." Visit the General Information page for more on crease patterns. |
