Recently, I purchased the book '
Geometric Origami' by Faye G. Goldman. The book contains various models based on Heinz Strobl's Snapology method.
A few years back, I had tried my first snapology origami and made an icosahedron. And now with the purchase of this book, I decided to work on the model titled 'Egg'. It was interesting for me because it was the only asymmetrical model in the book. On completing the project, I think it will make a good Easter egg. Maybe one can add some chocolates inside the egg - though I have no clue how we can get them out!!
The principal for the Egg Snapology remains the same and requires a total of 2 squares, 8 pentagons and 16 flower-like units, assembled from 6 triangles. The 2 squares form the top and bottom of the egg. The flower units surround the 4 arms of the square and the 8 pentagons.
I had used 1-inch quilling strips for the whole project, so while theoretically the egg was an easy project, the size of the strips made it pretty challenging for me. On a side note, kudos to all the origamists who make tiny, micro origami!
