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

It's been so humid here in NC I felt inspired to make a snail. #origami

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

A Voyage for Madmen by Peter Nichols. That one stuck with me a long time

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.

It's called Trussia and was just featured in the GOC4 online convention. Working my way through some great models from that event.

blinker03.bsky.social @blinker03.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

The back of the model is pretty messy so I don't think so. But you could join a few on their backs and probably make a sort of kusudama

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

Excellent job. I've crumpled and thrown away many a sheet on Sato's designs. Your version is beautiful.

This is straight trippy but really cool.

Andrew Hudson. I got the diagram from an old Origami USA newsletter so it may be in their database.

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

What a lovely display. The daffodil is particularly nice. Do you have diagrams for it?

Happy Folding videos are a little old but always super clear and well done.

Agree on the texture. I think I've settled on curling the middle components but leaving the edges flat.

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...
