As you may already know, I\u2019ve been working on my origami book. I\u2019ve made a lot of progress in the last few months, largely because I\u2019ve had interest from a publisher. Now we\u2019re in contract negotiations, and it\u2019s been going back and forth. There’s a bunch of points, none of them huge but all need to be worked out. It\u2019s a bit frustrating because in general they’re slow to respond, so I’m just kinda waiting to hear back. I\u2019d like to get it all squared away because once we have a deal, the first thing I want to do is go out and buy a nice camera so I can do the photography.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I’ve been doing lots of diagramming, since that\u2019s the major part of the work. Since the new year I’ve diagrammed my Inchworm, Fox, Walrus, Elephant Seal, Frog, and I’m more than halfway thru my Narwhal and Armadillo. I\u2019ve finally perfected the Armadillo. The key detail was the head, particularly the ears. I have only a few models left after that, but one is my Turkey, which maybe my most complex model. I\u2019m teaching this coming weekend so I can test all the new diagrams. I hope to be done the rest by the end of June so I can bring them to the convention.<\/p>\n
