Needle’s “Snowflake”
- Posted by admin at 16:00:31 // //
Jared Needle mentioned on the O-list that he and Andrew Hudson are doing a sort of advanced-origami-weekly-calendar, online at http://origamiweekly.blogspot.com. I wandered over and downloaded the crease pattern for the snowflake (wasn’t in the mood for a snake, sorry Andrew!)
I’m not much for folding from crease patterns - though given the amount of stuff that’s getting published these days that way, I figure the practice is good for me - but I did manage to get a version of the thing folded, over several tries. (Crease, try to collapse, fail, unfold, repeat.)
Yay!
Definitely one of those “and then a miracle occurs” folds, you just have to pre-crease everything and then fold it all mostly at the same time. Heh.
This is folded from a synthetic drawing vellum.
