Hi everyone, it's the first Saturday of October, which is when I usually send my monthly update. Last month I sent a second message, as I'd attended the BOS 50th anniversary convention, but there's still lots of new videos to share with.
First, though a quick update on the BOS video. 1. Subtitles for "How to be a better origami teacher" If you watched the recording of my talk on how to be a better origami teacher already, you probably noticed that the audio quality isn't that great. I fear the recording has some issues I wasn't able to fix, so to make up for that at least a bit, I added closed captions to the video. You can activate them by clicking on "CC" in the bottom right corner of the video player. I hope this helps at least a bit. Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jurFXVS6euo Video on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/talk-how_to_be_a_better_origami_teacher Plus, if you'd like to help out and translate the captions to make subtitles available in other languages, you can do so by visiting this link https://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?ref=share&v=jurFXVS6euo Your help would be much appreciated! Finally, the BOS has also published a video on the convention, namely an interview with the special guests Robert Lang, Paul Jackson, Tomoko Fuse, and Giant Dinh. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/jl4PjWEJu24 Next, let's take a look at the content I've posted since my last message! 2. Tutorial: "Nightwatch" by Kay Kraschewski a.k.a."Akugami" I found this cute 3D owl called "Nightwatch" designed by Akugami on Flickr a while ago and totally fell in love with it. I figured it'd be perfect for Halloween - although I enjoy folding it all year round. I hope you do, too.

Thanks again to Kay for a wonderful design and his permission to make a tutorial and diagrams accessible to you! 3. Tutorial: "Umulius Rectangulum" by Thoki Yenn My effort to revisit designs from the past and produce new, better tutorials for them is still going strong. This time I decided to make a new video for the model that's also called "Magic Rings" or "Impossible Rectangle" by Thoki Yenn. In addition to better recording quality, I also tweaked the folding sequence slightly to get a cleaner finish, so I hope you enjoy that particularly.

Tutorial: Dollar version of "Umulius Rectangulum" by Thoki Yenn I also decided to make an add-on tutorial on how to fold the Umulius Rectangulum form six US Dollar bills. I couldn't find diagrams for it online, only a mention that you could fold the model from the "green stuff", too, so played around with the folding sequence a little. Although it's very similar to the original fold, I hope this tutorial helps you out, if you'd like to fold the money version of it.

Time-lapse and ASMR: "Dollar Umulius Rectangulum" I recorded myself while folding a dollar Umulius Rectangulum, trying out some variations of the folding sequence. These I posted both as a time-lapse and without speed-up (as part of my Origami ASMR series). You can watch them here: Time-lapse on YouTube: https://youtu.be/m7DbkkGDvIE Time-lapse on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/animation-yenn-dollar_umulius_rectangulum ASMR on YouTube: https://youtu.be/QszL9d4_Qjs ASMR on happyfolding: http://www.happyfolding.com/asmr-yenn-dollar_umulius_rectangulum And I believe that's it from me for the past month. I hope you continue to enjoy my videos and wish you all, as always, happy folding! -- Sara
