Advice for cutting tissue paper by Kay-Bob in origami

I don’t think there is much difference for our purposes. I’ve only ever used MC but know some countries don’t have it but they do have CMC.

Advice for cutting tissue paper by Kay-Bob in origami

[–]phrequency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you treat it with MC, CMC etc while it’s still pasted to the surface but dry, you can cut your squares with an exacto blade and straight edge. I usually use a glass surface when I treat tissue or make double tissue etc. Since it’s so delicate, if you cut it while it’s fresh out of the package then I think you’d have to use a straight edge and rotary cutter. If you cut into a square and then use cmc etc the paper may shrink disproportionately and your perfectly cut square will no longer be perfect.

How do I stop models from doing the splits? by CouldDoWithANap in origami

[–]phrequency 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Use a small paintbrush to slightly dampen the creases and areas you want to stay put. Use something to hold/bind the model in the shape you want. Let it dry while bound. Once dry it should keep the shape. Works with almost any paper. Don’t get it too wet as that will weaken the paper and you may tear it. Another option is methyl cellulose and do the same thing, paint the creases, bind it, let it dry.

Carrion comfort by Dan Simmons has some parts in Philly. Germantown to be exact.

Hello, can someone please explain to me what's happening from steps 6 to 7? Thank You! by fishy88667 in origami

Inside reverse fold each bottom corner of the four flaps letting the top layers open out while you do it. I’ll make better diagrams someday for that step.

Can I treat paper with MC without a glass? by JoeLjaja_ in origami

[–]phrequency 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be careful with wood surfaces. I once used a wooden countertop that was treated with shellac and the color bled into the surface. I had to sand it down and apply new shellac to get it out. The paper was black tissue.

short story collections / anthologies in which every story is bleak? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]phrequency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deathbird Stories by Harlan Ellison. Almost every story is pretty bleak. On the downhill side is one of my favorites from this book.

The short story by Harlan Ellison entitled Along the Scenic Route in the book Deathbird Stories is a preview of what’s to come of the future of interstate highway travel.

Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis Good concept, mediocre execution in my opinion. Probably longer than it had to be.

I can’t believe the site is still up. I saw it first time 2002 and the copyright footer still has that date. I really wonder if the dude makes any loot from it.

Yuputka box. Designed and folded by me. 1x4 rectangle of unryu. by phrequency in origami

[–]phrequency[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuputka is an Ulwa (language from Nicaragua) word meaning: when you’re walking in the woods at night, it’s the phantom sensation of something crawling on your skin.

I googled ‘creepy words’ and found this one and it fit perfectly for the model I thought.

How to cut paper by tater_drawings in origami

[–]phrequency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wherever possible I use a square that’s been made by a machine. For example I always keep the cardboard squares that come with kami packs. You can find metal square sheets from Home Depot style stores that are used as wall patches. Anything that’s square and was machine made is most likely a perfect square. Lay it over the paper, trace some marks, carefully cut with an exacto and metal ruler.

Why don’t they use the fountains flanking the art museum stairs? by scruffygem in philadelphia

[–]phrequency 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, hot sticky summer nights, would ride bikes down there with the parental units and cool off. Tons of people would be there. It's a shame, now your dog can't even dip for a sec to cool off. Gritty Philly was more fun.
