CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Marvin_Rouge I did try clips, but the problem is the paper. It's way, way too thick! My fault, but I still enjoy the process a lot. And sometimes it works!

@artcollisions I agree, I looove making these models (or trying!) and using origami in my art, but I'm never going to create a new model, and I'm completely fine with that and happy to be in awe of those that can.

I did make an origami quilt a couple of years ago. A square quilt intended to be folded into an origami model (a Yakko-san). Start folding it one way up and it is a blue model with a white back. The other way it ends up white with a blue back. It links direct experience with memory.

@artcollisions Cool! I wrote to him about not being able to fold another of his models and he was really helpful.
I have noooooo idea how he designs these models though. Our brains inhabit different universes. This one is crazy, but the pattern it makes on the paper is beautiful.
My paper is cyanotype coated, so I'll put the partial model in the sun for a while and see what happens!

I am ready to admit defeat!

This is a partial collapse of the Gamma Star model by John Montroll.

I've stopped on step 58 of 61. Sad, but it's not going to come together.

His one-sheet origami polyhedra models are some of the hardest collapses I know. Anyone done this with success?

I am using 50 X 50 cm 300gsm watercolour paper, which is completely wrong and silly, but I like the challenge. Even the pre-creasing took hours....
