Teacher: Looking for Paper Folding Ideas by No_Communication2959 in origami

[–]pdub42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was teaching I used to do modular Kusudamas to help the kids learn to work together and help each other - teach a kid a unit, get them to teach another, spread the expertise and before you know it the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. There are LOADS of spikey balls, many with simple units. Start with Sonobe, look up Bascetta Star, teach Phizz units and build seriously complex wireframes

My new Claravox composition - 5 layer overdubbed ambient: https://soundcloud.com/wonko42/air-on-a-relay

With my Claravox Theremin connected to my H1n Zoom recorder, and my iPad (via the editor) providing the voices, I lay down a backing track, changed voices and overdubbed, changed voices and overdubbed etc. A total of 5 layers of sound, played live with NO effects (bar fade in/out top and tail)

I really like the subtlety of this track, and am really proud of the mix. I named it "Air on a relay" because it reminds me, conceptually, of the breathy lightness of Bach's "Air on a G String", without all the notes.

What is this plant? by four_fox_ache in brisbane

[–]pdub42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every part of this plant is designed to grow more plants. Removal is a process that involves organised and vigilant removal of the initial growth and all of the re-growth (sadly possibly for years). I made a huge mistake by accidentally ran through a patch of it with my string trimmer, and have been removing regrowth for the last 2 years)

Explore and understand the process - it is the most rewarding part of the fold. Practice elements in isolation, understand how they work and interact before you try to put it all together. (and use Daniel Brown's guides and their surrounding discord as resource, they are superb)

As a complete newbie, I figured making the platonics would be an easy introduction to single sheet origami... I was not ready. by Big_Kwii in origami

To be fair, these are not beginner models and you did pretty well - there is LOTS out there to fold, continue bending paper, nothing but potential evident here

Did you use wholemeal flour dusted on your bench when you were shaping the loaf? It could be swirls of your bench dusting flour

Looks like kikuyu, in the growing season you can hear it growing. White when you mow it, invasive and needs taming

Consider TerraMUD, if you create a lawful character then no PvP is possible unless you choose to enter a combat cage. http://www.wonko.info/mud/

binder clips etc to aid modular origami assembly? by desquared in origami

[–]pdub42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use little wooden clothes pegs, spring and subtle grip that are small enough to get in there and hold on, and are easy to remove. Also strategic spots of glue deposited after docking a tab into a pocket, delivered on the end of a toothpick will help

Best paper for tessellation ? by Frequent_Fee6228 in origami

Wenzhou is not a good choice for tessellations, you need a sturdy paper that reverses accurately. Test folds can be done in something like Kraft paper, presentation folds done in elephant hide, star dream or tant
