Finally managesd to find a cross section that devided into 8 sections instead of four. However the diamond in the middle might look pretty but as you see it actually take up allot of space. However I think I need to draw out a pattern and see if I could come out with a better […]

Here is yet another crossing fold that I have found, researching which crossing patterns there is is handy if I ever want to implement it into a packaging design. Also could make some interesting tesselations patterns with different crossing patterns. However always researching and also playing is always interresting to see how certain way you […]

Lately I haven’t done much folding since I came to Hong Kong/Shenzhen China, primairly because I have no acces to the correct paper. Also still haven’t both any correct paper to do good folding, howeve I just tore out a piece of paper from my sketchblock and fold it double to increase the strenght to […]

This interesting shape is totally made by accident when I was searching for a fold for a cross sections. However this looks interesting and might be usefull but actually got bit too much folds and also, I needed one with more squared shapes of each 4 sections. But this looks interesting to make a tesselation […]

This is a bit to see on of the possibilities of these kind of interlocking fold with curves. However it is not an easy fold or to design nor easy to fold it together. The paper went all wrinkly and also might been because I made some too hard round corners on this design. However […]

A special fold that has a honeycomb like shapes. However I though this could easily be used for packaging, however when I folded this, it was pretty sure that this isn’t going to happen easily. But need to research how to make it possible or easier or different shape to make possible. But one things […]

I actually just made out somethings just not knowing what the results should become, but made a pretty impressive fold actually. This fold looks quite special but you can also easily squeeze the shape together and it automatically folds itself together into a small package. Also found a great use for a packaging with this […]

Curve folds can stop and stars with a straight fold between it. Also can continuous repeat.

Here you see 2 of the same folds next to each other with one mirrored version of the other. Just a reminder that you can fold both ways and also depending on the shape it steers the paper to a certain side.

This is an old tessellated box I once made but never used it. Now I finally bought a lamp for something else and tried it out and put it inside this box. and see how it looks. Will be making a very interesting lamps and other products soon for side projects that interest me.

Here is crossing curve fold just test what happen when 2 curves crosses each other. However this looks very cool bit not sure if this is really practical for a packaging, mostly be some element of design.

Here is a packaging shape I tested with a new method of folding certain part. It is all about the fold in the middle. Normally you think you need to make extra cuts there to make this shape. I made a fold that could make this shape with less parts to cut and paste. This […]

Here is another try making a total round circles on an A4 / 235 gram paper. This fold is the same as the big bang fold however without cutting the hole and the outer part. What is very interesting is that the shape hold it self on it own after folding it. And actually looks […]

A test to see how trans action between straight and curve can be used. A result I tried a square in the middle of the card that swirled out. It is bit based on a design that David Huffman had made and with look at some more of those interesting designs. Only haven’t found any […]

Here is my go on a curved fold of a big bang model of Thoki Yenn, however it is not that smooth as I had wanted. However it could had been caused by the very small size and 80gram paper. Will try to make a bigger version soon and might pick up some important knowledge […]

Another curved fold test this time somethings harder a wave shape, however tested on a lesser piece of paper. Now I am getting the hang of it a bit. Also getting a different view to working with paper that I haven’t thought about, should be interesting what I could implement this to packaging designs, only […]

No, this isn’t the desert at night this is a part of a curved fold I made to see how it works, this one one with a bit wrong exposure setting, but gave a pretty cool look. I am very fascinated by allot of origami artist who managed to make curved folds in their design. […]

Here is finally a video of the Ironman pop-upcard. From now I want to call it Maskupcard, because when you open the card he close or put up the mask. Also update the looks of the mask now but will make a few adjustment before it is really possible to download. There are still few […]

Here are a few sneak peeks of the pop-up card with colors.This is the card totally open and when you see the Ironman mask in total and closed.This is what you see while opening you still see the face underneath. My battery ran out today so have to film it tommorrow also will updat the […]

Here is a video of a pop-upcard I am currently working on just for myself, an Ironman pop-upcard. The special thing about this card is not that it just pop-up the helmet in 3d, but I wanted the helmet to move in a special way when you open en closes this card, so I wanted […]
