Technology Applied. Origami Crease Pattern! I made my very first crease pattern!
I’m not sure how origamists tend to define crease pattern, but for me, I simply used every single crease needed to create the final model without shaping. I understand that some origamists like to just draw crease patterns up to a base with a certain amount of limbs needed for the final model, but I feel like my models aren’t designed in such a way that allows for this. I never really seem to have a “base,” or if I do, it tends to be something rather standard and boring like a preliminary base or waterbomb base. So I suppose if you were to fold along all of these lines in the correct direction, it would end up as a horse!

At one extreme, and at the most personal level, to an origami designer, it is an extrinsic form of memory: a way of recording one's ideas and the relationships among those ideas in a level of detail too great to carry around all at once in one's mind. In this form, it carries a meaning that is expressed to no one else in precisely the same way: it is a reflection of the unique pattern of synaptic connections and chemical potentials within the mind of its creator.

Chara, an artist from Athens, creates beautiful and intricate embroidered notebooks.
She turns an object as simple as a notebook into a treasured object perfect for writing down your most precious thoughts. Her notebooks are so meticulously made that it looks as if the embroidered decorations were drawn on by a gel pen instead of with a needle and thread. All of her notebooks are hand-made from Japanese paper, using the simple but beautiful Japanese stab binding technique. After selecting an image, she transfers it onto the cardstock and embroiders it to give it a unique 3D effect and, lastly, binds the book.

I want to share some more of the Sacred Geometry creations I have put together, I start to honestly feel that these images alter the way I think about my surroundings, they tap directly into some consciousness within me, almost like life coming together and building itself in the shapes of these seemingly simple but deceptively complex formations.
