5 (6/17): Twist

June 20, 2011


Unlike the first four, this was not folded from a square, but a long rectangle with corners cut off (which makes it a hexagon). Also, it is from “standard” origami paper which has two different-colored sides. As with all other 50-50 pieces, the background is a 6 by 6 inch square. For an experience of a completely different scale, I’m including a photo of a similar twist folded from a sheet (of watercolor paper) that was about 23 feet long and 5 feet wide. The large twist was folded for an origami exhibit at this year’s Marin County Fair.
