Creaselightning

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Creaselightning was my third collection of models. It followed from Origami Projects and More Origami projects. The premise of the book was to develop a book around folding techniques rather than what the model was. The project explores folding techniques and different styles of folding. Central to the book is the question "How do I fold?" rather than, "What am I folding?". For most of the projects the folding journey should be as interesting as the destination. I have tried to avoid complexity and kept all the models as simple and elegant as possible. My main consideration is producing models that are enjoyable to make.The next section starts to explore some of the themes in the book and gives a bit more background to the models themselves and why I have included them. Most of all, if you have got this far, I hope you enjoy the origami. It took several years to develop the models and ideas in Creaselightning. If you have any thoughts or comments, do let me know.In 2004 I embarked on working full time as an origami designer. This has given me many more opportunities to write and develop origami books. Although many of these were commissions and designed in conjunction with the respective publishers.

Senbazuru
Author: Michael James Wong
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1797213695
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Fold your way to happiness through the inspiring philosophy of Senbazuru—the tradition of folding one thousand paper cranes—with a leading voice in the global mindfulness movement as your guide. In Japan, the paper crane is a symbol of peace, hope, and healing. It is considered the "bird of happiness," a mystical and majestic creature that according to myth can live for a thousand years. Tradition has it that if a person were to fold one thousand paper cranes in a single year, they would be gifted one special wish that would grant long life, healing from illness or injury, and eternal happiness. The tradition of folding one thousand paper cranes is called Senbazuru ("sen" meaning "one thousand" and "orizuru" meaning "paper crane"). In this book, renowned yoga and meditation teacher Michael James Wong brings Senbazuru to life as an inspiring philosophy that encourages slowing down and taking many small steps on our own personal path. This is a book of small steps and gentle wisdoms to heal your soul and help you find your own path to happiness. FOR READERS OF: Ikigai and Dot Journaling, and fans of mindful craft like coloring books and puzzles. ORIGAMI IS THE NEW MINDFUL CRAFT: Fans of coloring books and puzzles will flock to this trend for its ease, versatility, and affordability. FOR FANS OF JAPANESE CULTURE: This will appeal to readers of books like Ikigai and A Little Book of Japanese Contentments. EXPERT AUTHOR: Wong is the founder of Just Breathe, an organization focused on bringing mindfulness into the real world. He hosts events; speaks regularly in the UK, Australia, and California; and partners with brands like Rituals and international festivals like Wanderlust. He has nearly 40,000 followers on Instagram, and his work has been featured in The Telegraph, BBC Radio, Mind Body Green, Women's Health, Men's Health, Yahoo! News, Well + Good, and more. CHARITY PROJECT: Through Michael's charity partnership, Cranes of Hope, his corporate sponsors will donate £1 to a COVID relief fund for everyone who makes and sends in a paper crane. The cranes are going to be built into an amazing installation in St. Paul's Cathedral in London, where an event will be held to mourn those lost to COVID and bring hope for the future. Details on U.S. events to come. A PRACTICE OF PATIENCE FOR HEALING AND WELLNESS: As we've had to take a step back from socializing and cancel plans during the pandemic, we have all been reminded of what it means to really slow down. The origami practice is not, like most things today, a work of self-gratification but rather a work of patience and discovery. Wong's origami technique forces readers to breathe deeply and slow down, soothing the mind and soul. Perfect for: enthusiasts of mindfulness, wellness, yoga, origami; coloring book / puzzle aficionados; parents Digital audio edition introduction read by the author.

Origami Projects
Author: Mark Bolitho
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Origami Projects is a collection of the early works of Mark Bolitho, with most of the featured models having been developed in the late 1970s to early 1980s. They came out of a time when there were very few origami books available and, despite its ancient origins, was the beginning of modern more complex origami. It was, at the time relatively easy to come up with new designs by doodling or experimenting with repeatable patterns.Many of the models have been made organically. The Dinosaur and Dragon are made using similar folding techniques, this is then further developed in the Scorpion and Crab. The methodology of opening the point and squashing seems obvious and yet I haven't seen it replicated. This base is further developed in the follow up booklet "More Origami Projects", which includes a squirrel and a more advanced scorpion.The collection also features some of my favourite designs, the flying goose is an action model. The hexahedron has a delightful mechanism and resolves and concludes neatly by tucking a tab into a pocket. Both of these models have an organic folding sequence that resolves to a point where no further folds can be made, the models appear to be complete. This is a principle I revisit in "Creaselightning" and my presentation at The Seventh International meeting of Origami in Science, Maths, and Education; (7OSME) in 2018.The Hexahedron, Puffa Fish, flying bird and four-legged box share a common feature as they are all 3D and are fully rendered, unlike the dragon, badger and Tyrannosaur. These models are 2D, effectively flat models, whereas the first examples have no open spaces.
