This #rainbow is the complete collection of 60 different square #origami #boxes challenge. Most designs by #tomokofuse. After almost 40 years of #paperfolding, the endless possibilities still amaze me. #art #paperart #japaneseart #creativity #handmade

I've been trying to make modular #origami stars this last week. Managed 2 out of 4 models successfully, and then the difficulty ratcheted right up... Top yellow and orange star is Juan Ignacio, and the bottom, light blue and light pink star is Ignacio. Both models by Maximiliano Ortiz.
Two modular origami stars made from 8 subunits each, that have to be folded as accurately and identically as possible to fit together properly, and stay securely attached so they don't move around without being glued. The top model has 8 points, and is yellow and orange and white. The bottom model is pastel blue and pastel pink, and white, and has 16 points.

Why did the origami paper refuse to be folded? Because it didn’t want to crane its neck! 🐦 For Wellbeing Week, we've got lots of mindful activities for you to do, on your next study break - why not have a go at origami? You'll fine some new origami paper, with cute bird designs, in the foyer.
Squares of origami paper with different bird designs, fanned out. One top, a plain blue origami crane.

If you're on the Black Isle on Saturday the 28th, come join waterwayscollective.org for an afternoon of beach theatre, microscopes, zine-making, and meditations on smolting. We have a new #plankton net to try out + I made an #origami mayfly nymph, which was fiddly. #sciart #wildsalmon #marinebio

This tutorial is an ingenious photo frame by Larry Hart. It’s a really useful fold and fits a 4 x 6 photo or postcard if made from A4. Our beautiful model is the late Tortie in her much younger days 😍 Video here - you have 7 days left #lastchancetofold www.facebook.com/share/v/1Fkv...

Today’s video is the Weimar bowl by Nick Robinson. It’s an elegant but fairly simple model. Nick also includes instructions on how to divide a square into fifths. Remember there’s less than one more month before the videos get deleted. #lastchancetofold Video here: www.facebook.com/share/v/195A...

A really original way of displaying a 1000 cranes. Myles custom built the inside of the 120 x 70 cm frame to create a dual shadow box. 500 strung cranes are on display at the front while 499 are hidden at the back. Myles has left the last crane unfolded so the owner of the wish can remain open.
999 origami cranes strung and displayed in a large wooden frame. Next to this is a smaller square frame containing the last square needed to make the senbazuru

Did you know there's lots of maths involved in origami, from fractions & angles, to symmetry & spatial awareness. Put your maths skills to the test and make an origami bookmark for tomorrow's #WorldBookDay! mathsweek.scot/news/... #MathsWeekScot #EduSky #MathsToday #UKMathsChat
Two origami corner bookmarks made to look like monsters, one of the bookmarks has been placed in a book.

It’s wonderful. I normally think of tessellations as quite flat-ish but I guess if you’ve gone to all that work to add in the texture then maybe it makes sense to emphasise it with the curved edges?
