copyright 1999 Columbine (Aquilegia) is a hardy pereneial belonging to the Buttercup Family. It is beautifully colored; Frequently the center, outfacing petals, and spurs are different colors. This model was inspired by Guido Gazzeras spurless Aquilegia model and is dedicated to my cousin Renate, who first introduced me to this wonderful flower. The diagrams are for personal use only. Please contact me at [email protected] to obtain permissionfor any other use. Enjoy. Note: Some of the diagrams are flexed in order to indicate several layers of paper or one corner open to show interior folding details. All folds should be as accurate as possible.
1. Precrease pattern. Collapse into a windmill base.
3. Fold and unfold the
flaps to thier center line,
4. Inside reverse along creases.
2. Squash fold the four corners.
5. Petal fold outward all 4 corners as shown
in the upper right hand corner. Circled corner open to show interior detail. The raw edges should butt tightly together. Some minor adjustment might be necessary. turn model over. Columbine for Renate -- page 1 of 3
7. Narrow the points by folding
the edges to their center line, spread squashing the top.
6. Fold the corners to center.
Allowing the points underneath to flip to the top.
9. Collapse model bringing points
together like a bird base. Circled area shows the interior detail of step 8.
12. a. Inside reverse the
four points. b. fold the corners as close
10. Spread squash the four
corners, like a frog base.
13. Open out the petals. Sharpen
the crease on the spurs after they swing downward.
8. Fold and unfold to center. Then
inside reverse along the crease.
11. Open the model and sink the
center section. The sink line should be almost but not quite even with the folded up section from step 8. Make sure that the blintzed paper underneath is folded into the sink as well. This is a bit cumbersome
14. Slight indication of top and side view.
Now on to the leaves... (6" paper will yield a flower approx. 2.5" in diameter and are very nice made from multi- colored papers.)
