hello leyla. great new ori website. thanks also for the links to some great models. i notice with the links that they are done differently from model to model. some links open up another tab (preferred) while other links open up in the same page (ie your blog page). curious to know why there is a difference. for me, it seems to work better to have a link open up a new tab, that way when i close that tab, i havent closed your blog as well… just my 2cents.
v.a.
Thank you V.A. all links are now opening in a different page.
Are the instructions for Philip Shen’s Omega Star complete?
Hi Yiyang,
The photo-steps pretty much show the whole process of the Omega star, except that the last step needs to be repeated in all corners to finalize the star. No photo of the finished star is shown.
Hello, what a beautiful blog and website you have! I’ve bookmarked it. I wanted to ask you if you know where I can get a copy of either Origami Argentinia Convention Book 2010 or OD Convention Book, Germany, Erkner (Berlin) 2009. I would like to start working on Jens-Helge Dahmen’s Scarlet Oak diagram but I was unable to attend the conventions. Dahmen and I have been in contact and I was given some advice on how to crack the cp but if there’s a way to obtain a copy of the book I would be very satisfied. Let me know if you have any advice! Thanks!
Leyla, I can’t find that simple star, the one that heather loved. Help!
