It does, The fastener mechanism goes up and down ant the zip opens and closes. I love Giles's stuff. Diagrams for much of his work (not the Zip that is too new) are available from the British Origami Society in the form of a very reasonably priced publication. See BOS Website.
I really like this !
It's quite interesting, well executed and a little bit " tongue in cheek" !
Always enjoy humor in origami .
I'm going to throw caution to the wind, and venture a guess that this is not " one uncut square " .
Very nice !

Wow
That is awsome. I wonder if it actually works..........

Yes, it does!
Of course it works. :)
Opening the zip is a bit harder than closing it, but both work surprisingly well. Ingenious!

Modular
Yes, indeed it is. I'm not sure how many modules it requires, but there's more than just a few.

It actually works, although you probably have to be a bit more careful than with a real zip...

Size
How big is that????????
Submitted by Sara on 24 March 2010 - 9:17pm Permalink
Quite big
It was quite big. I think the model was about a meter long or so. Not sure, it's been a while.
