Angel wings (Polish: faworki) are a dish traditionally prepared in Poland during Carnival. They are made from special dough, rolled very thin, cut into stripes with a slit, and threaded through the slit. This threading can in itself be considered a form of very simple origami (on a specially-shaped sheet, and using a single cut). Given how strong the dough holds despite its thinness, I wanted to test how well it would be suited for regular folding. If you’re interested in recreating this experiment, I used this recipe (in Polish, but automated translation should work).
Geometric Vase 1.1 Vase Christmas Tree This Sunday, February 23rd, at 2 p.m. GMT (15:00 CET), I will be giving an online class during the Birmingham Mini-Meeting. We will fold my Geometric Vase 1.1 (the one with Jim Weir’s improvements) and Vase Christmas Tree. Since the workshop is aimed at beginners, we will start by learning how to fold a hexagon from a rectangle. We will only fold one level of the tree and the topper during the workshop, but you will be able to continue and fold more later on.
