The ways of the Force

Since I've been in a "video mode", and answering a question on my spanish blog, I've been getting fun all the week taping a video on how to fold the amazing Fumiaki Kawahata's Jedi Master Yoda; a model which always gave me applause, though this time, due to an stage fright it didn't go so well ha!








Here a Picture of Kawahata, (it was hard,

A Little More on Kawasaki New Rose

Checking statistics, the most popular entry (by far) is the one about the Kawasaki New Rose, diagrammed by Winson Chan. A year ago, I've showed a description about the folding of it, starting with the two main diagonals and not precreasing explicitly that annoying grid at 22.5 deg. I've done a couple of videos to show how I do this, at least on its more complicated steps. The first of them shows the first steps, corresponding to steps 9 to 11 on Chan's diagram, of course without doing the grid.



A second video shows how to create the main creases of one of the quadrants.



and finally, the closing and finishing of the rose.



I hope you enjoy them and that clarifies a little mi confuse diagram, complementing what was already said.
