Dobrodošli / Welcome

Dobrodošli na moj origami sajt, na novoj lokaciji i u novom formatu. Sav materijal sa starog sajta još uvek nije prebačen, ali najnoviji materijal je ovde i nadam se da ćete u svakom slučaju naći nešto zanimljivo. Uživajte!
Welcome to my origami site, now in a new location and in a new format. All data and pictures from the old web site have not been transfered yet, but the newest material is here and I hope that you will find something interesing nonetheless. Enjoy!

Ova slatka cinija je idealna da se u njoj drzi potpuri ili nesto slicno. Kod nje mi se posebno svidja nacin na koji od ravnog papira nastaje cinija i kako se ucvrscuje. Veoma zgodan i efektan dizajn.

This is a cute dish ideal to hold potpoury or something similar. I especially like the way the form of this dish is created and locked. Very neat and effective design.

Mislim da ovaj model jajeta izgleda zanimljivo i da ga papir sa crnom pozadinom i cvetnim motivom čini veoma lepim i elegantnim.

I think that this egg model has an interesting look and that this flowery patterned black paper makes it stylish and beautiful.

Lopta od 270 PHiZZ modula / PHiZZ 270-units bucky ball - Thomas Hull

Ova lopta je najveći origami koji sam napravila do sada, ako ne računamo 1000 ždralova. Ona spada u familiju bucky balls (nemam pojma kako ovo da prevedem!) sa petouglovima orjentisanim ka spolja, a sastoji se od 270 delova. Napravljena je sa pravilnim bojenjem u tri boje što znači da ne postoje dva dela iste boje koji se nalaze jedan do drugog.
Moj prvi pokušaj da napravim ovaj model se neslavno završio: mislila sam da za mene neće biti nikakav problem da napamet provalim pravilno bojenje, ali se pokazalo da nisam u pravu i da je ipak potrebno malo se pozabaviti matematikom da bi se to napravilo. Toplo se zahvaljujem gospodinu Hull-u koji mi je poslao rad o bucky balls i njihovom pravilnom bojenju u kome je ovaj problem objašnjen. Dok sam tražila rešenje ovog problema, skoro završena lopta se potpuno izobličila jer je papir koji sam koristila za module bio mek i nije mogao da izdrži težinu lopte. I zato je ona završila u kanti za smeće a ja sam napravila istu novu loptu iz početka. Dakle: ako planirate da pravite ovaj model koristite malo tvrđi papir kao na primer papir za fotokopiranje u boji.
Sastavljanje ove lopte koristeći pravilno bojenje u tri boje definitivno zahteva koncentraciju i strpljenje, ali nemojte se obeshrabriti jer je rezultat apsolutno vredan truda!

This bucky ball is the largest origami project I did so far (not including the 1000 cranes). This is a ball from pentagons pointing in family of bucky balls and consists of 270 modules. It is done in proper 3-coloring which means that no two modules of same colour are next to each other.
My first attempt at this bucky ball ended in frustration: I was a bit arrogant and thought that proper 3-colouring won't be a problem. But it proved to be a big one and not doable without a good mathematically based strategy. My warmest thanks to Mr. Hull who sent me the paper on bucky balls and proper 3-colouring that provided a comprehensive insight into this problem. While I was waiting for an answer to this problem, the nearly finished ball collapsed due to light weight paper that was unable to hold the shape. That's why it ended up in trash can and I made an entirely new one. Hence: if you are planning to make this model, use a harder paper, for example coloured printing paper.
Assembling this bucky using proper 3-colouring requires concentration and patience but don't be discouraged. The result is surely worth it!
