New origami orchid from the V Berty design. They are the only kind of orchids I can keep alive.

Labor Day weekend was a good time to make more Naomiki Sato roses. Every time I make one I get mildly obsessed with these things. #origami #flowers

This is Silas, the one armed sifaka lemur. As a Tarheel I hate to promote anything at Duke, but the Lemur Center is really amazing and does great work.

I can tell I'm just going to keep making lots of these. They are very satisfying. And Christmas is only 7 months away. #origami

Man, I love a brown-headed nuthatch. Weighs only 1/3 of an ounce but will just hangout 6 feet from me like he owns the place. #birds

Saw the sculpture Beloved by Beth Cavener last weekend at the Mint Museum and I keep coming back to it. It holds tremendous tension and I may need to walk back over there and look at it again.

One more for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Lines, because I love geometric themes. The stairwell at the Deutsches Museum housing a Foucault's pendulum.

Practicing a new #origami model tonight. You can finish it flat or 3 dimensional. Thoughts?

We went out tonight to see Milos Forman's last Czech film at a local theater. At the end 2 ladies are like " I think we were supposed to be in theater 4". Like what kind of patient and curious person sits through 75 minutes of Czech New Wave before figuring this out?

Got some new pink/green duo paper and it's perfect for these little cotton flowers. Very satisfying to make. #origami

I picked up this book Solar Flare at the origami convention. It's definitely one of the most complicated things I've ever folded the instructions were so clear it didn't seem that hard! The book curls all the edges of the piece but I'm not sure. Thoughts? www.origami-shop.com/en/tessellat...

Got a chance to see Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express on the big screen tonight at the Independent Picture House. It had been 25 years since I last saw it but Tony Leung having a conversation with his soap is still delightful cinema.

Triangle waterbomb tessellation. I love the look but definitely a practice fold. By the time I figured out a good collapse method it was a little crumpled. Anyone have ideas for neatening up the edges?

I like folding this origami tessellation a lot but I should have cut the paper into a hexagon at the beginning. With a square it's hard to figure out how to finish the edges in a pleasing way.

Does anyone else miss Custom Fit? No standard pattern has ever fit me as nicely as the ones I generated there. 🧶 I tried drafting this simple raglan from Amy Herzogs's Ultimate Sweater Book guidelines and it's fine, but not nearly as well fitting. #knitting

TIL that there is a real man in the world, not a made up man, but a real one, named Pierbattista Pizzaballa. Apparently, he is the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and a Cardinal. And dang, his name is fun to say. Merry Christmas, Bluesky.

More Christmas origami! The Fold newsletter has a great pattern for a Christmas wreath today. It came together pretty easily and is super cute. This and a Tar Heel win makes for a very good day. Happy holidays, everyone.
