One of the things I want to do this summer is give my website a long-overdue update, starting with the origami section. The last time I put up pictures of new models was seven years ago. Since then I’ve been busy with other things, and I went thru a rather long spell when I found it difficult to do any new creative paperfolding. I never stopped entirely, but it did slow to a trickle between origami events, and I spent alot of time on a few supercomplex ideas involving pentagonal geometry, where progress got to be slow and frustrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, now I have more time to put into folding, and my creative energy is reignited by the last few conventions I attended, plus the fact that I’m going to be a special guest at the Origami USA convention later this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took an inventory and have created about twenty-five new models since the year 2020, and about half of those have been photographed. So the first step was to get the ones I had pictures of onto the site, in the gallery pages and with their own detail pages. While I was at it I updated the layout of the gallery pages with larger images arranged in three columns, replaced some photos of old models with newer better ones where available, and made numerous small improvements and corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s lots more to go. I’m planning a deep and substantial redesign of the whole site, and am going to re-fold and re-photograph a good fraction of the models on display to raise the quality of the whole presentation. Also I’m going to put up a bunch of crease patterns, and add some new sections on things like exhibits and deep dives into different themes. On top of that, I’m actively creating new models again, so there’s be more fresh content coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still this is a good step forward.
