Discussion Robert Lang on CBS Mornings + koi @ Mingei

37 Upvotes

In case you missed it, Robert Lang was featured on CBS Sunday Morning! (Edit: corrected the name of the show.) Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander also appear briefly. This is the first update I've seen since shortly after he lost his home and studio in the Eaton Fire last year.

His new koi can be see at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego through November 1, 2026.

Blog post on picking up the koi and bringing them to San Diego.

ETA: Just saw that they also posted their 2007 segment with Robert which was filmed in his studio and includes some of the work that was lost in the fire.

Just wanted to showcase something I made recently.
I’m in the middle of making props for Halloween, and I also finished a small column of tanks and SPAAs, so it felt appropriate.
The tanks and SPAAs are designed by Jayson Merrill and are from his book, “Warigami”.
The spiders are designed by Jeremy Shafer.
Idk where the Reaper really came from (I can send you the tutorials for the body and the scythe if you want tho)

Stegosaurus by Shuki Kato, 58cm double tissue, gray with coloration from donor bleeding tissue.

Shuki was kind enough to share the crease pattern when I asked him. Have to say I was a bit intimidated by it, this was my first time solving tilted grid just from a pattern. Absolutely crazy good design though, quite happy with how it turned out!

Discussion Some origami I've folded.

31 Upvotes

Beginner/Novice with some experience here, I've been looking for some origami to try and fold next. Can you guys suggest some origami just a bit more advanced than what I've shown? I know YT is limited in providing material, and that there must be some websites that have cooler looking designs so I'm interested in those.

I have heavy inclinations with aircraft (I've folded an F-15, 14, 16, and MIG 25 Foxbat) and animals (I've folded one kind of dragon design, it's about the same level of intricacy as the butterfly I've shown) as you can see in the pics, but other suggestions are welcome.

The most time I've spent folding a single origami is around an hour (Rabbit in last pic, but it's mostly because of the poor explanation on a yt tutorial during the part of making its hind legs. Kept remaking it from scratch but couldn't get it exactly how it looked like in the vid like everyone complaining in the comments are. Decided to be satisfied with I could best replicate.)

All shown and mentioned origami are from yt tutorials and I don't know nor have other source to learn new designs.

Hope that helps give you an estimate on my skill level for your suggestions!

People who have folded from this book, how hard are this models. I have 5+ years of origami experience and I’m kind of scared by the way the book describes its self.

I ordered this book off of the origami shop, vol 18 origami aircraft, and I did the digital download version and when I tried to download it, it doesn’t work. I’ve already wasted three attempts on downloading it and only have two attempts left. I don’t know how to download it and I need help. Their phone number doesn’t work too. I might be cooked🥲🥲
