Spilled Cup of Water, by Andrew Hudson

This model was inspired by one of our previous posts, a Cup of Water by Silas Vriend. I was sitting here, wasting away in the summer heat, thinking of nice, cool things like water, and flipping through Flickr photos, when I saw Silas' post, and an idea formed in my head of how to fold this.

Diagrams here.

Some advice-- use something that will hold a crease well, not foil; and fold from printer paper or larger, step 25 is really, really hard to do if you've never done those before. I should also say, the lines made in step 18 are 22.5º

If you get stuck on the last step, try taking a look at some of Philip Chapman-Bell's work-- he's used similar twist closures before.

Hey there folks, we're back from vacation this week with diagrams for Davor Vinko's Head. It's a nice three-dimensional model, with pretty good diagrams-- and even better, it's closed all around except for the bottom! I thoroughly enjoyed folding this, and I think you all will too.

Here are the diagrams.

Continuing on the theme of last post, I've got another Komatsu-inspired bird design.

Note that the tail is done slightly different in the photo than in the diagram-- I changed my mind after folding it and taking photos, but that was my last sheet of black/white kami so I can't refold it until I go to the paper store!
