Comments: | I really like these lovely little bowls which nest/stack so neatly that I could not resist making them in coordinated sets, as shown in the nesting view at left. I had difficulty deciding how to categorize this origami model by shape. At first glance, these bowls seem to have a diamond shape -- an impression strengthened by the diamond-shaped liner in the center of each. However, Tomoko Fuse's book describes this model as a hexagonal bowl, and a closer look at the interior verifies that it has the shape of an irregular hexagon -- or prism. In a regular hexagon, all six sides are of equal length. An irregular hexagon can have four shorter sides of equal length with two longer sides of equal length, or it can have four longer sides of equal length with two shorter sides of equal length -- like that Tortoise Shell Bowl. In the end, I have decided to categorize this model as a prism rather than a diamond. The dimensions given above are for the prism shape within the floor of the bowl. The sides of the bowl slant upward and outward from the floor, so the total length and width of the whole model is actually 12 cm by 8.5 cm (4.7 in by 3.3 in). |
