The I-Ching Wheel, by Michael G. LaFosse

wheels

This model is by Michael G. LaFosse, I got it in a Geometric Origami Kit offered by my sister (the models are mostly good, but the paper texture is bad and creases leave white marks). Each module is quite easy to fold, the assembly is straightforward too, but I find it really hypnotizing to fold – I’ve made it many times :)

 

It reminds me of chidren water wheels that I’ve always been fond of.

There are other pretty models in the kit, but I have no photos of them yet, so maybe in another article :)

 

The papers of the pictured wheels are 15cm and 7,5 cm squares.

For a while, I folded kusudamas all the time. I only folded models that required square paper, no glue, no cut.

 

I don’t exactly remember the models presented here. I think the ones on the upper left and middle center are the model in the book from Rick Beech – that’s the first 30-modules model that I folded, it got me hypnotized and I folded it many, many times. The bottom left looks like a regular sonobe.

They are all folded from 7.5 cm paper. The fluorescent paper is “Origami mini-Pop” from Avenue Mandarine. The two on the left and the upper right are Showa Grimm “1000 cranes”  (I love this traditional japanese pattern, here in non-traditional colors). The middle left is Toyo 50 colors. The upper middle left is double-sided chiyogami. The front center is really cheap chinese paper from ebay.

 

I’m not folding much kusudama these days, I’ll publish more recent things soon :)

Hello!

 

I’m folding and giving away a lot of origami, so I want to keep trace of them by collecting photos here before sending them away :)

I might also do some reviews of origami books. Let’s see :)
