A free pleating model, made in a workshop with Goran Konjevod
I made this a couple months ago in an origami workshop with Goran Konjevod. The subject of the workshop was how to pleat paper without pre-creasing. It’s an improvisational technique where you don’t worry about making folds equally spaced or parallel. You just approximate, and watch how it distorts the paper. And since you’re approximating, you can do stuff like making the lines slightly non-parallel.
My style generally involves more careful planning and precreasing, but I like this technique too! I imagine if you do it enough, you gain some ability to predict how it will turn out.
ahh, too late in joining the sidebar to partake of the freethoughtblogs blood ritual. you’re in the camarilla now. what clan are you?
this origami biz is above my pay grade, but that’s a cool lookin waffle.
Oh no, I missed the blood ritual? Will there be another make-up ritual?
a frayed knot. you snooze you looze.
Very nice! What kind of paper did you use? It is holding the shape very well. That also sounds like a really amazing workshop to have attended. Such detailed pleats are not something I am great at, even free form. I think the most complicated exercise in pleating I have accomplished was Jeremy Shaffer’s Flasher model.
@Kouban_agari,
It’s just large kami paper! But Goran is known for experimenting with a lot of kinds of paper. The paper’s thickness affects the shape of the model.
