Welcome!

 

Hello! I've been doing origami for quite some time now, I thought I'd Make a thread.

 

This is my first thread, So bear with me. (If you spot any Mistakes or have a suggestions on how I can make the thread better, Just post).

 

Icosahedrons (Sham, Sonobe)

 

Yep, its an Icosahedron. 2 Icosahedrons. They may look (very) different, But have the same geometrical structure.

 

WARNING:GEOMETRICAL TERMS USED. There are 3 units that make a triangle. 5 triangles "come together" to make a pentagon. 5 pentagons put together form a Ball shape. (Horrible explanation... Just see the Pics)

 

 

 

[hide=2 Icosahedrons]Each of these was made from 30 separate pieces of paper.

 

This one was a pain in the [wagon] to Assemble. It fell off the ledge about 6 Million times... Detaching a few segments each time... But it came out as a good picture when I finally got it. This is the sham module. Took me a few hours.

This one is quite easy to make, I had to make a few for my Favorite teachers last year. It is very solid, and easy to assemble. This one took me about an hour.

This one was made on an airplane, the picture was taken on a cruise ship where I assembled it.

Cheeseburger & Fries

 

I made this because it looked incredibly awesome. It is actually 6 separate pieces.

 

[hide=Cheeseburger & Fries]The Cheeseburger put together. This one was actually VERY easy, just took a while.

Here are all 6 pieces.

And of course, What is a burger without fries?

Lucky Stars

 

These are very addicting to make. And fun. These were placed on one of my Dad's copiers. I wasn't going to risk one of his good playboy shot glasses breaking :-#

Chinese Vase

 

I run out of tape to make a bigger piece of paper, So this thing is TINY. It's a bit blurry since I had to zoom in.

Multicolor Cube

 

Here is an origami cube suggested by Zargo_VI. It is a pretty model, and simple to make.

Crane

 

The crane is one of the simple, elegant pieces of Origami that everyone has seen somewhere, in some form. It may be easy to make, but hard to make perfect. Feel free to use it as a wallpaper or screensaver.(sorry for the low-res of this pic, had to use my laptops webcam. Will upload a better picture when I get my camera back from my dad.)

Unfortunate Bungee Jumper

This is the Unfortunate Bungee Jumper, or if anyone is into coaster, I call it "The man who flew out of an Intamin Airtime Machine"

No cuts were made, it is all just folding.

Wow! I enjoyed much looking at all those pieces :D It's amazing what one can do with some pieces of paper, and it's pretty too.

 

I have to say my favorites are the second Icosahedron and the Lucky stars. How do you make those anyway? Oh, and for suggestion, you can try making this cube: http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/multicolored_cube.pdf

 

It shouldn't be that difficult with your skills ;)

If you have a goal, go for it :D Work hard, be proud and be yourself ;)

That's really cool, I like the icosahedrons. No idea how hard these are to make since the most complicated thing I can make is a paper plane, but they look really impressive.

Thanks for your comment ::' The lucky stars are made out of strips of paper, Folded into a pentagon type-thing and then puffed out.

 

 

 

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try it now! :thumbsup:

I love making those little star things. The icosahedrons are sweet, you should try other sculpture type stuff, I bet you could do it... (a particular dragon I saw on DA a while ago comes to mind)

What do you mean by Sculpture stuff? like Figures like a crane or a frog?

You could definitely try a crane, they're kind of hard to make perfectly (I've only managed one ever...) but I was thinking more along the lines of a dragon... These instructions (http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/dragon.pdf). It would be cool to see what you make of them.

I've made dozens of cranes, Certainly not perfectly, But well. The first one seems okay. The second I could manage, (No Guarantees) The 3rd link I've tried before, Didn't turn out well.

 

As for making them, I'm heading out to California for my grandpas 80th birthday. I live in Colorado Springs, I need to drive to Denver, Then fly out there. all my paper and my laptop is packed already, So I can't be certain I'll get it done today. I'm bring my camera there, and get internet. So by tomorrow I can get them done for sure ::'

 

I'll post a picture of DIA when we get there. (its awesome, Half of it is covered in canvas, Google search it :thumbsup: )

Really nice stuff, I love your use of coloured paper because many origamists (:P) I've seen only tend to use one colour of paper. Using many makes them so much more eye catching and appealing.

Those are amazing! I once tried to make a paper crane by following some directions in a children's book, and I was absolutely baffled, I couldn't even figure out how to complete the first few steps. :wall:

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

If I had a camera, I'd post my own :lol:

 

 

 

I luv the second icosahedron :P You can get really interesting things by linking multiple "pyramids" (the ones on each face) around a point. For instance, if you do points where 6 pyramids are linked, and links of 5 all around, you get something that looks like a tetrahedron with pyramids on all 4 faces. 4-pyramid links surrounded by links of 3 gives you something that looks like two merged cubes \'

 

 

 

If you don't understand what I mean by link, it's sort of like a vertice of the icosahedron. When I say 4-pyramid links surrounded by 3-pyramid links, think about how pentagons are surrounded by hexagons on the soccer ball.

 

 

 

Also, I've been experimenting with this somewhat lately. You know how making lucky stars starts, right? Make... 12 pentagons. (I think it's 12). Then loop the strips through the pentagons, you should be able to make a dodecahedron. I've managed to do it, but the ones I have are pretty fail :x You can probably pull it off \'

I understand it, How many Units would take?

100 % confused here. By pentagons you mean the lucky stars before you puff them out?
