flower unit, work in progress

If you felt sufficiently patient you could fold a rule 30 CA from this unit. Or any other pattern based on pixels. Also congrats on wrapping up the book.
working with some new ideas about how to get the visual results I want to see. A departure from the traditional, which I have to admit pains me a little bit, but that's just a personal quirk of mine.
I couldn't create this general base of shapes via regular pleating, so out came the X-acto.
This is prior to wetfolding or any kind of shaping- just how it turned out after the cutting. Looking to take this in some interesting directions just to see what I can do with it.

Wow. Still don't know how you do it!

folding all the squares drives me slightly
batty.
I cheated and cut the paper, this will no
doubt earn me exile from the paperfolders...
to antarctica perhaps.
hehehehe...

thanks Polly, very glad to be making crazy
experiments again too.
Have really not had the energy to do this
sort of stuff for a while now, so it's good
to just be playing around without anything
particular in mind.
I'm trying very hard not to feel guilty
about cutting the paper!

At least you've got a scoop to dig yourself
out from the mountain of shit you'll get for
crimes against elephants.

I'll not convict you if you delete the
origami tag from the photo.

hehe... well it's still origami, really, even
if it's non-traditional.
I've got some interesting things planned
with this concept so we'll see where it goes!

It still requires a vast understanding of the
backgrounding concepts, so you can cut glue,
whatever...
As far as this thing goes, that's a really
nifty concept. I like the direction of this
piece; look forward to more neat stuff!

So, I tried a variant of this, without
cutting- trying to see if I can expand my
abilities a bit.
not exactly the same but I think there's
some good things that can be done w/o
cutting, too.
I waffle between wanting to go
cutting-crazy and abstaining entirely... I'll
have to try both and see which I like better.

It's funny you should mention that, Fredrik-
I've been thinking about something similar
for quite a while! (Although not a CA
pattern... something more regular, to
maintain my sanity.)
I worked out a nice method for expanding
the shapes to various heights, so there isn't
just a binary possibility, but instead it can
easily be expanded to about 3 units high
without noticeable buildup on the single
height units. Of course the tower can be made
infinitely high but when you have to deal
with neighboring units it becomes difficult.
Thanks for the motivational thought- I'm
looking at it from a different perspective
now.

That's a great idea -- you could algorithmize
it so a bitmap could be passed in and it
would spit out the cp for your 3d origami
image.
