First off, I\u2019ve been thinking about a second origami book, and tossing around ideas for a topic or theme.  One of the more promising ones is to expend my repertoire of Origami from Space models with a constellation of related models.  The other night I came up with a concept for one.  I\u2019m not sure whether to call it Space Probe or Radio Satellite, but over the last few days I folded several versions, experimenting and refining it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s two of the best so far. One version uses a 12&#215;12 grid and the other 16&#215;16.  This model is a but unusual for me in the that it starts with a grid and uses some box-pleating, but it\u2019s appropriate to the subject. The base is similar to my War Elephant, in that it embeds a Hydrangea tessellation in the middle of the paper and proceeds from there. Some day soon I hope to take some pictures on a black background with some salt sprinkled on it to simulate outer space.  Meanwhile I also have an idea to fold a Sputnik.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/spaceprobe\/radiosat01_1200.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/spaceprobe\/radiosat01_450.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/spaceprobe\/radiosat03_1200.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/spaceprobe\/radiosat03_450.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/spaceprobe\/radiosat05_1200.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/spaceprobe\/radiosat05_450.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well my busy spell at work has ended a bit sooner than expected, so I have some time now to get caught up on a bunch of long-standing projects.
