Transferring Origami Patterns to Paper with Methyl Cellulose

I found that by embedding a pattern on the surface while treating the paper with methyl cellulose, the pattern stays even after drying. This could be useful for transferring origami pattern to paper. It’s kind of like drawing a pattern directly on the paper, but without the risk of tearing thin sheets due to friction.

It’s just 3 simple steps:

1. Engrave the pattern onto a cutting mat, …

Making Paper with Variable Thickness for Origami

As origami evolves, the patterns get more and more complex, and precision becomes crucial. But how do we accurately transfer these designs onto paper?

There are a few common methods:

1. Folding: This involves using geometry to achieve specific ratios or using a grid system. It’s considered the “purest” approach since origami is all about folding. However, it’s quite tricky to …

Maybe It's Time to Paint Again

I’ve been reading a book called What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art in the Blink of an Eye, and one particular fact from the book struck me: academism places a strong emphasis on the technical skills, but modernism shifts the focus to ideas and concepts. This really got me thinking.
