Folding Diagrams for Marie‘s Rose (49 Steps)

Folding Diagrams for Marie‘s Rose (49 Steps)
Marie‘s Rose is a high intermediate model that takes 30-60 minutes to make. It is a 5-sided variation byMarie Tessier on Toshikazu Kawasaki‘s 4-sided "Rose".
Start with a pentagon, green side up. A pentagon 5 ½ " (14 cm) on a side makes a model 2 ½ " (6 cm) across x 1 ½ " (4 cm) tall.
Jasper‘s diagrams are detailed, but a little confusing in places. If they give you any difficulty, please let him know.
An outline of the diagrams: Steps  1-12: Simple precreasing. Steps 13-19: Confusing precreasing. Steps 20-27: Twist fold. Steps 28-32: Make cone-shape. Steps 33-40: Squash fold the petals. Steps 41-45: Shape and lock the calyx. Steps 46-49: Finish to taste.
Start with apentagon, green side up.
Fold a 5-sided analog of awaterbomb base. Green side out. Fold the long edges to the centerline.
Repeat behind. Unfold completely, and turn over. White side up.Valley fold through the center of the model.
Note that the creases line up.Valley fold. Unfold completely. White side up. Pleat.
(Steps 6 and 7 can be combined into a single step.) Unfold completely.
White side up. Make a short crease halfway between the center and the crease made in Step 6.
Unfold. Rotate 72°. Repeat Steps 4-10 on the other 4 sides. Turn over.
Green side up. Fold parallel to the centerline,
through a corner of the center pentagon. Note that the creases line up. Unfold completely. Green side up.Valley fold from point-to-point. Unfold.
This step is confusing -- make sure you choose the correct points.
At the edge of the paper, there are three parallel lines.
You want the end of the middle parallel line --
NOT the midpoint of the edge.
The other point is where a different parallel line
crosses the crease made in Steps 13-14. Green side up.Valley fold from point-to-point.
This step is also confusing -- make sure you choose the correct points.
At the edge of the paper, there are three parallel lines.
You want the end of the middle parallel line --
NOT the midpoint of the edge.
The other point is the same as in Step 15.
Rotate 72°. Repeat Steps 13-17 on the other 4 sides. Turn over. White side up. Twist fold. (Steps 20-27 show how.)
Lift up one side of the center pentagon.
(Diagrams 21-26 are all 3-D views.) Crimp the corner.
(Use the already-existingmountain andvalley folds to overlap the paper.) Rotate 72°. Repeat Steps 20-22 on the other 4 sides. The model looks like a morning glory, in 3-D.
Turn over.
Green side up. Flatten the ridges.
(The center will twist around.) Puff out the pentagon, by poking it from the other side,
or by tugging the corners apart. Flatten the pentagon.
(In other words, spread-squash the pentagon.) (The model is flat again.) Turn over. White side up. Open out an overlapping layer.
(Diagrams 29-49 are all 3-D views.)
Mountain fold on 2 of the creases made in Steps 13-19.
This step is confusing -- the paper will make a "popping" sound,
because sharpening one of the creases undoes part of the zig-zag "crimp". Sharpen thevalley fold.
Underneath, let the crease curve into the center of the model.
Rotate 72°. Repeat Steps 28-30 on the other 4 sides. (Top view.) Like so.
Valley fold and unfold.Squash fold. Repeat Steps 36-39 on the other 4 sides.
Thesquash folds will overlap.
The finished rose.
Credits
"Marie‘s Rose" was designed byMarie Tessier. It is a 5-sided variation on Toshikazu Kawasaki‘s 4-sided "Rose".
To Jasper‘s knowledge (as of August 2000), "Marie‘s Rose" is the second true rose (with full 5-fold symmetry). The first was the "White Rose", by Elsa Chen and Jasper.
Kawasaki‘s "Rose" is diagrammed on pages 128-130 of Origami for the Connoisseur, by Kasahara and Takahama. Chen‘s original (4-sided) "Rose Bowl" was created in 1997, and diagrammed in the June 1999 issue of the West Coast Origami Guild (WCOG) Newsletter. The "White Rose" was diagrammed in the October 1999 issue of the WCOG Newsletter.
