#Modular origami diagrams update

The kusudama is a paper model that I usually created by connecting multiple units together. Q: Where can I learn more about origami and copyright policy?Ī: Here are several useful articles on origami copyright. Q: What should I do, if I want to publish these pictures or to use them commercially?

To make all the diagrams that anybody ever asked me to make I should give my work up and draw all the time… Q: Can you make the diagrams for that pretty model? I want it soo…Ī: Yes, if you want to pay me. If you want to buy the diagrams, please contact me. Is it possible to obtain instructions?Ī: If there’s no diagram, that means that it either don’t exist or is offered for sale. Q: There’s a model on the site, which I want to fold, but there’s no diagrams. For the some of freshest models you can visit my flickr photostream.

I try to update the site with my newest works, but it’s not easy to do it often. Q: Does this site include everything you have ever composed?Ī: Not all actually. For any commercial usage contact me first. Q: Can I copy or print origami diagrams for educational purposes?Ī: Yes, if it’s a non-commercial usage. It’s prohibited by international copyright laws. Q: Can I remove the copyright signs from the pictures?Ī: No. And I am strongly against reposting my diagrams. Q: Can I post your origami works in my blog / homepage / fb account?Ī: You can post several photographs in your blog, but the link to is obligatory. Q: I want to make a video-tutorial for your origami model. I do not drink, smoke and I never tried drugs(except Coffee and Coca-Cola) They don’t have problems with growing cactuses! -)įrom time to time I’m busy with: mountain skis, yoga, drawing, origami or lawn mower :) I envy the people who live in South America. I grow cactuses and dream to move to some sunny warm region, so that my cactuses feel themselves better (and me too :). I had to marry the man, who designed the “” internet site -).I graduated in 2008 with honors from Moscow state Lomonosov university as a mathematician an programmer I always dreamed to become an architect, but I became a mathematician. When I was a child, I liked to read the book “entertaining math”, architecture catalogs and art encyclopedias I first played these games when I was around 20 years old… My parents forbade me playing with puzzle and Tetris (they think it’s too silly). (the very bad thing about them is that you never have enough parts!) I always liked solving conundrums and playing with construction sets Origami Designer's Secrets: Ekaterina Lukasheva.Make Beautiful Modular Origami Kusudamas.Indeed, it’s easy, when you have the right mood.

This understanding guides me when I create new models. It was a breakthrough to me, cause I understood, that it was easy! So easy! I talked to my chef and was playing with a note paper.Īn suddenly I understood that it can be turned to an origami module! It was simple and elegant!

In 2008 I discovered my first glue-less unit. (I’m a fan of Transport Tycoon and Civilization). Origami had to compete with my other hobbies: drawing, photographing, modeling and computer strategy games And I tried to make some “my own” things.Īctually my own creations were rare, ugly and paper-consuming. I was born in the family of scientists, so from the cradle I got the feeling, that man must create something new. I thought I would never be able to create something as genius as Sonobe unit. I was totally stunned by the models that require neither glue nor thread to hold together. It was the time, when I got an access to internet, so I could find more models to fold. I had to enter the university, so I spent 2 years to learning mathematics and geometry for the entrance exams.Īfter three years I was able to remember this hobby. It was the fact that has bound me with kusudamas tightly. These positive notes rescued me from total fail with geometry notes. I need to say here, that I had been a lazy pupil and I didn’t make my homework. We folded few of them for a school contest and were granted some positive notes for geometry. With my friend we tried to fold some of the balls. One day, around 2001, our mathematics teacher brought us origami magazine, that contained kusudamas. When I was 14, I was very fond of gluing paper models of buildings in my school. As I was a pupil I knew origami only in a sense of folding paper airplanes.
