Spinal Reconstruction + Dollar Bill Dresses

When in Vancouver I made a grey tessellation that was a bit of a sampler.  When I got home I played a bit more and loved the vertebral effect that I got.  I’ve been wanting to do a spinal piece since then.  Easier said then done.  This piece has a different orientation on the creasing than normal.  It took me forever to precrease what should have been 125ths vertically.  Unfortunately the different gridding method didn’t work and I had to cut off a substantial part as my grid was so off as to be unusable.  Then I finally started creating the piece and it is not working out.  What I have is what it is.  So I am finished with the concept for the time being, because my frustration level is at code orange. 

On a different note I came up with a dollar bill dress and a minor varient.  If I find out they don’t exist out in the origami world I will work on diagramming them.  There is one reference point that came from another fold that I am trying to find a shorcut to.  If you recognize this please give me a heads up with appropriate links and designers.
