Fellow folders, I'd like to 'pick your brain'. Last weekend was the Diamond Jubilee campout for Girl Scout Alumnae. For an origami fold to teach, I chose the Traditional German Bell. When it is turned upside down, it looks like a diamond. I could not find diagrams for the fold, so I drew some. My question is for the wording to go with the diagram, #4. It's a square, with a solid line for one diagonal. ( I have a note that shows a solid line - labeled existing crease). There are two dashed lines coming from one corner that includes the diagonal. (earlier dashed lines are labeled as valley fold, folded towards self). From each adjoining side is a movement arrow pointing to the diagonal. ( note with curved arrow is defined as direction of movement). The wording for the step is: "on each corner make a kite fold, crease, unfold" (word each is double underlined).
One person really had trouble with the word 'each'. She felt 'every' would have been better. I'm asking, 'each' or 'every' or 'all four corners' or 'on one corner at a time' would be best? (I tried to keep wording concise and to limit the number of words) I did not have a drawing showing the CP for all the creases, as those folding are not into origami, and it would only be overwhelming, rather than a clarification. Step #5 says to Dry assemble into a 3-D Diamond, then glue parts of one kite fold to another, either hold closed or use painter's tape. (I used "dry assemble" rather than trying to draw the 3-D in process) Thank you for your consideration.
