Welcome / Willkommen
Welcome to my web site!I am a mother of a three-year-old son, who is working full-time. Though I started my weblog from August, 2006, several months after I went back to work after maternity and child-care leaves, most of the themes of my weblog are not related to my work nor child care but what I do during my break time. Comments are welcome!
My Origami Gallery
|
| Five Intersecting Tetrahedra (FIT), designed by Thomas Hull, using 30 sheets of rectangle (3:1) paper. This is folded during the maternity leave. Folding units was easy, but it took a lot of time to assemble, this reminded me of my primary school days I had made a lot of unit origami, mainly using Sonobe-unit. This may be a trigger of my origami life. |
- Modular Origami : My favorites.
- Origami Boxes : This is also a type of modular origami.
- Origami Objects : I besically prefer folding several units and assembling them, but sometimes I making a normal origami using only a sheet of square paper. Animals, flowers etc.
- Cranes : I am also interested in the traditional connected crane. While I use a lot of sheets of origami paper to make a modular origami work, two or more cranes are folded from one sheet of paper to make a connected cranes.
Paper Blocks and Polyhedra
- Origami Figures of Naef : Using modular origami, I try to duplicate the famous blocks of Naef.
- Figures of Naef without Origami : I use paper and wax, instead of origami paper....
- Polyhedra and Toys : Inspired by the building blocks and polyhedra, I made several toys. I really want to have my son play with it, but paper models seem too difficult for him to use without squashing....
Platypuses
- Platypuses : One of my favorite animals is a platypus. I show you a part of my collection, including platypus pictures I found in children's books.
