Fuse Elephant
This is the only animal model I really like making! The ears use spiral folding, and the end result is a great clean face you can use as a mask.

Fuse Modular
Uses 1x2 rectangles. The 30 piece version is shown here.
Date/Time: Sat Jun 9 15:57:55 2007
This module starts out as a 1x2 rectangle and ends up looking like a sonobe with 2 diamonds! As a result, it can be used to make any of the normal sonobe geometric solids. The joining is a little tricky, but I expect to be able to teach the 12 piece octahedron. More advanced students can try the 30 piece variation.
30 Piece Ornament
Easy folding and interlocking system. Moderately challenging assembly.
Date/Time: Tue Jun 12 12:30:07 2007
The pieces are not at all difficult to fold, but 30 pieces do take some time! You will leave with a fairly quick, impressive, and beautiful gift item for any occasion. If anyone knows who created this model, please tell me!

Giant Origami Quilt
This 9' x 6' quilt is made from two modular units.
Date: 2007/06/02
This quilt was folded and assembled by girls of Science Club for Girls at Boston Children's Museum last summer. The quilt measures approximately 9' by 6'. Some of these units are holding many times their own weight. I'll be teaching the units used to make this quilt and hopefully we'll complete a new quilt with a different shape and color scheme at the convention!

Three Dollar Flower, opus 488
Designed by Robert J. Lang
Date/Time: Mon Feb 12 16:45:29 2007
You may have seen this model at last year's Convention on Robert J. Lang's exhibit table. It's an ingenious and elegant flower made from three U.S. bills. Both Robert and I plan to teach the model, but we won't give away its clever secret to how the bills lock together unless you come to class. Be sure to bring three crisp U.S. bills with you.
Truncated Rhombic Triacontahedron
Date: 2007/05/23
Model is folded from 30 squares. The shape is extremely spherical and holds together very rigidly. The geometric shape is composed of 12 pentagons and 30 hexagons (though the model is dimpled on the pentagons). The hexagons are golden rhombuses with the acute corners cut off, therefore they are irregular (you can see proof of this because corners with 3 hexagons meeting are not flat).
Class length will be 2 hours.

These two high intermediate models by Philip Shen look different but, in fact, share a similar structure. They begin with hexagon and feature a complicated collapse process. In this two-hour class I will teach you how to fold both models (Snowflower 1 is the one on the left, in pink, and Snowflower 2 is the one on the right, in gold). I will also show you one of the many methods of constructing a hexagon from a square (although you can bring your own pre-made hexagons).
Icosahedron Plus
This is a very flexible unit which makes a **sweet** icosahedron from 10 units.
Date/Time: Thu May 3 08:39:08 2007
This is a unit, folded from a square, based on equilateral triangles. But it does a really nice job making any polyhedron with equilateral triangles for faces. Two units make a tetrahedron. Four make an octahedron. Ten make an icosahedron, which feels really nice! Six units make a snub disphenoid. There's all sorts of things you can make with this unit! (And there's some cool math involved too!)
Rhombic Dodecahedron Unit
12 units make a nice rhombic dodecahedron ... and more!
Date/Time: Mon Dec 4 09:17:27 2006
This is a versatile modular unit. 12 units make a nice rhombic dodecahedron (left picture). 12 units can also make a spiked octahedron (center picture), and many other interesting shapes can also be made (like the right picture). This will be a high intermediate level class.
