Biomimetic Origami: Planar Single-Vertex Multi-Crease Mechanism Design and Optimization
A real treat: On Sunday I was one of the lucky ones to attend a zoom workshop where Beth Johnson taught the Baby Grand Piano by Patricia Crawford. This is the result of a fast paced hour of folding, without additional refinement. A fun fold and a great model from the early seventies!

Me he reencontrado con este autorretrato que me hice hace ya ¡cinco años! y sigue siendo de mis dibujos favoritos.
Las cosas han cambiado mucho en cinco años, tengo más canas y menos tiempo, pero me gusta esta versión de mí mismo.

The Collapse of the Cylindrical Wedge
That is, a section of a cylinder where the planes intersecting are not parallel. The eye of the vortex appears to be one of the foci of the ellipse. Round objects added to stop the eye from normalizing the shape, as it *will* do, no matter how many times I've told it not to.
Orchid is closing the gap!

Note that today’s poll will close earlier than usual so I can get championship poll started at the usual time.

#origami #chameleon I folded after a frustrating meeting to regain sanity points.
I was amazed by how 3-dimensional the little creature is.
Done following the instructions of #JoNakashima here: https://youtu.be/if7iSuzNn38
Would love to revisit this one with better paper and under less time constraints.
