I love your choice of paper for this design. This book definitely looks interesting... thanks for pointing out the source, too. Will definitely look into getting my hands on a copy. :-)

Ah, thanks. :) We'll see when I find the time to fold another one of these whirlpool spirals. My fingers are itching already. We've got a longer train trip ahead of us next week, perhaps that'll give me the chance. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi Sara,
Thank you for your tutorials! I have purchased this beautiful book a couple of months ago, and when I got to whirlpool spirals I started figuring out (a) what shape should the initial sheet of paper be (b) how can I build the Crease Patterns? After failing to understand, I gave up and started looking in the internet for solutions, and bumped into your videos. So, I understand that it's not sufficient to have a sheet of paper, but one would also need at least either a goniometre or the software you mentioned. Is that correct? Tomoko Fuse should have mentioned that in the book :)
Thanks
Stefano
