in progress on Flickr.
I post origami and other objects of interest here. Many of the photos are my own, but I also showcase impressive examples from other artists. If you want to see more of this type of thing try the origami tessellations group on flickr and for instructions try Happy Folding. If you are looking for crease patterns leave a comment and I can usually show you were to find or give you one for a particular design.

Goren Konjevod is one of my favorite origamists - a really innovative artist. His pleated forms are notable for what Christine Edison described as “the exception to the rule of forced curvature” in her pleats post. That is to say that extrusion of the paper’s form into the third dimension a emergent property due to it’s thickness and memory. Most origami works best when the paper behaves like an imaginary sheet with no thickness or memory. Konjevod is a master at purposefully manipulating the properties of paper that most seek to ignore or minimize.
Accuracy is overrated — Goran Konjevod
Check out his work here. AH. SO NEAT. Especially this one, this one, and this one.

I’m enchanted by Rebecca Gieseking origami forms.

Constellation. Going for something a little more lyric. Technically a transition state of a spread rhombi flagstone.

Expanded basket weave.
Used large open backed hexagon and triangle twists. Same model as the previous image just tessellated to the edges of the paper. Folded from an A4-sized rectangle of elephant hide. The grid divisions are thirty-seconds folded the long way, which is probably the maximum resolution I can work with in a paper of this thickness.
Usually I pre-crease paper folding edge-to-crease with all the ceases on one side but with the elephant hide I’m trying to fold crease-to-crease because it’s a little more accurate with thicker paper and EH seems to stand up well to a crease being reversed several, or even many, times.
