Each folded from a single sheet of paper following a regular geometric method. I am not sure who discovered these first; I discovered them independently back in the 80′s and published diagrams in the Origami Newsletter of the Friends of the Origami Center of America at that time. I also did a math-based science project about the one in the top middle while in high school; I showed that the spirals in the model are all based on the golden ratio.

About Fr Matthew Green
Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location!
One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos
on Flickr and buy prints of some of them
on Fine Art America.
I am a daily contributor to
GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution.
I also have my own blog,
Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.

how terrific this is. Thank you, Father Green!
Beautiful
Do you have directions on how to make the golden ratio origami? I tried looking it up but wasn’t able to find it. This would be a great lesson for my art students!
I think I have the directions I published back in the late 80′s… I’ll dig them up and scan them. Maybe that would make a cool GMG post: “The Origami Challenge – fold these spirals and send me photos of your work!”
