OrigamiUSA Convention 2007 - Part 1: The Classes

Well, I finally got around to editing some of the footage I shot of this year's Origami Convention. There was a lot of stuff, so I'm splitting this into 3 parts. Please forgive my dull, rambling intro; it had to be done, but I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in ages and it shows.

Here are some diagrams for Daniel Kwan's Truncated Rhombic Triacontahedron (the colorful spherey thing at 2:12):

Somebody posted a video on YouTube showing how to make the Butterfly Ball (seen at the end here), one of the few origami models designed to be destroyed:

It's Daniel Kwan's Truncated Rhombic Triacontahedron, and I managed to find some diagrams for it in his Flickr account. I'll post a link in the description to this video.

[russodd]

That's called a butterfly ball, and it looks like somebody on YouTube has helpfully posted some instructions.  Just search for "origami butterfly ball" and it should come right up.

Did you ever come round to making parts 2 and 3? I can't find them.

[pjbolas]
