Flattened
Expanded
With the help of an excellent book, (Folding Techniques for Designers by Paul Jackman), I have again been working with plain white paper to explore the idea of form or a manipulated surface. Some of the more complex folds are quite difficult to construct without creasing the paper the wrong way despite having scored the paper first. A thinner paper can be easier to manipulate but is more likely to split when folded along a scored line. Thicker paper is harder to manipulate but will keep its form better and would also take a print.
The best two tips form the book:
1. Use the back of a scapel blade to score
2. How to fold accuratley without measuring - genius!
