WG-Origami

Over the years of origami, I have produced several diagrams. My diagramming journey was influenced by many authors, especially Jo Nakashima, Nicholas Low, and Satoshi Kamiya. There were many subtleties of diagramming that I have to discover by reading other's diagram, which I would like to share in this post. To be precise, "diagram" here refers to step by step origami instruction drawn using software.

My frigatebird's color is fading, so I thought about refolding it with something better than double tissue. While doing so, I got some ideas to update it. Now it has distinction of lower/upper beak, and individual toes. Also used this opportunity to fold the female version.

Turkey vulture is a type of vulture whose head and color just happened to look like wild turkey. I frequently see them in San Jose and its surrounding wilderness, slowly soaring and gliding on low altitude. Their V-shaped pose with occasional wobble is rather unique, so it is easy to identify them.

Another year with EBOC (East Bay Origami Convention)! I enjoyed spending time with fellow local folders, and exchange knowledge via teaching or chatting while chilling. Had a lot of fun on these two days (16th to 17th March 2024), so I will share my experience on this post. Of course, this is a late post. 

Earwig is a ground dwelling insect in the order of dermaptera. They look scary because of a large pincer at the end of their abdomen. However they aren't capable to badly hurt us. I have never seen them in Asia, but they are abundant in North America.

After waiting for months. it was time for Pacific Coast Origami Convention a.k.a PCOC, which apparently is read like "peacock". It is a regional conference held every two years. This year's host was San Francisco, on 26th-30th October 2023. I live just 1 hour train ride there, so it was a perfect opportunity to get a taste of an origami convention.
