Request: Script for tea bag folding
|
|
|
| I have recently taken up tea bag folding. This is a fun paper craft that
was originally made with squares cut from decorative tea bag envelopes.
However, it can also easily be done with square tiles made with, e.g.,
the Kaleidoscope effect in PSP and printed out on plain paper. Attached
is an example of a tile and a folded medallion made out of 8 tiles.
Now, the script I'm envisioning would take a tile and show me what it
would look like when several tiles are folded in one of the shapes used
in tea bag folding and assembled in a medallion. It's sometimes a little
hard to guess which fold would go well with a tile. There's an example
of the basic kite fold I used at
http://www.teabagfolding.circleofcr...ickitefold.html - also
see the other lessons there for what it looks like in a medallion - and
a different fold at
http://www.cardinspirations.co.uk/t...bag_folding.htm
Some more examples of different folds:

http://www.origami-resource-center....ag-folding.html
Would anyone be interested in creating such a script or helping me to
create one?

| Hi, Tape - I love challenges! Have been looking at this for the past hour
or so, and may have some ideas. Can we "meet" offline? Email me! Suz

Cool! Some of the tea bag folds are indeed classic origami folds.

Yep, and I think Suz is just about ready to post the scripts - she's fast!

And she's a good programmer too. I'll probably revise my scripts when I see
hers.
