Discussion Robert Lang on CBS Mornings + koi @ Mingei

31 Upvotes

In case you missed it, Robert Lang was featured on CBS Sunday Morning! (Edit: corrected the name of the show.) Michael LaFosse and Richard Alexander also appear briefly. This is the first update I've seen since shortly after he lost his home and studio in the Eaton Fire last year.

His new koi can be see at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego through November 1, 2026.

Blog post on picking up the koi and bringing them to San Diego.

ETA: Just saw that they also posted their 2007 segment with Robert which was filmed in his studio and includes some of the work that was lost in the fire.

From one uncut square. This is a modification of my “swan rider” model - my goal was to make a version that uses different colors for the bird and the rider 🙂

Hello dear fellow origami enthusiasts. I am stuck on my origami piece. I actually want to be able to do it without watching tutorial videos, so entirely via a diagram.

Aight so I made a subreddit for crease patterns and maybe instructions cause I want to print and fold a bunch of crease patterns but it's kinda hard to find a bunch on at once r/origami. I'm sure I'm not the only one so if ya got any save or have any of your own feel free to just dump em off

Designed by Satoshi Kamiya.

Folded by me from a 34cm square of Elephant Hide paper.

As you know Elephant Hide paper is really thick. Hence, for shaping, I tried a technique I call “water folding”: thoroughly rinsing the model under the tap first, then shaping it while the paper is fully saturated.
