Progressive Crease pattern


Origami diagrams are difficult and time-consuming to draw, but (hopefully) easy to follow. Conversely, crease patterns are easy to draw, but difficult to follow. Many folders are so intimidated by crease patterns that they do not even attempt to fold from them.

We therefore present the idea of a progressive crease pattern as a kind of halfway house between full diagrams and standard crease patterns: easier to draw than full diagrams, but easier to follow than a standard crease pattern.

This idea is purely experimental. We need your comments or suggestions. Folders, creators, please let us know here or on the Guestbook.
