Origami Striped Sonobe - Octahedron

 The third of the models that I tried was the Origami Striped Sonobe, assembled into an Octahedron, from 12 modules. The assembly is, of course, different from the Large Cube assembly from my last post. The Octahedron is...

Origami Snow-capped Sonobe - Large Cube

 Continuing my theme from my last post, I folded the Snow-Capped Sonobe this time. The assembly is in a large cube, made from 12 units. This is the first Snow-capped sonobe. There is a second one too, but that required folding...

Origami Spiral Cube from A5 paper

As I had said in my previous post, while making the origami spiral cube, I wanted to retry this model using A5 paper instead of A4. A4 paper resulted in a fairly large cube which wasn't very appealing to me. The coronavirus lockdown...

Spiral Cube

Tomoko Fuse's spirals has always fascinated me. And since my last Tomoko Fuse origami was this pyramid box in May, I figured I would try out another of her spirals origami. This origami spiral cube has been on my to-do list for...

Happy New Year 2019!

A very happy New Year 2019! Hope this year bring joy and peace to every one of you 🎉🎉 This recent pair of origami that I made - Daniel Reutskiy's kusudama - is very special for me. For one, it was decided and planned completely...

Edge Unit A - 90 - 90

The Edge Unit A is the first of the modular origami designs from Tomoko Fuse's 'Unit Origami Wonderland'. The edges form a 90 degree angle on either side. I have folded the cube, made from 12 such modules. The model is quite...

Hexagon Box

We had recently been on a short trip to the sea, for the summer. And while doing some shopping, I came across an amazing shop which had some fabulous wrapper paper in some awesome colours and patterns. So I ended up picking up...

Open Frame - Cube Unit

After completing my last 2 Tomoko Fuse designs made from 120 units each, I decided to try one of her simpler models - this simple open frame cube, made from 12 square units. I have used 3 colours and 4 units of each colour....

Traditional Origami Lotus - Revisited

My daughter, Little Miss, has recently become very keen on recycling and reusing whatever she can. So when I was recently asked to make a few origami lotuses, she came up with the idea of making literary lotuses! And we are both...

Sonobes for Christmas

I recently ordered a lot of origami paper from Kim's Crane and am now thrilled with my supply of beautiful origami paper :) And since I had so much of variety, I decided to start off making Christmas decorations from them. And,...

Lotus

The origami lotus is yet another traditional, modular model and one that I had tried out recently. The assembly for the lotus is different from what I had done till date. After folding the individual modules (there are a total...

Ninja Star Cube

Here is the final cube from the book 'Modular Origami Polyhedra'. The Ninja Star Cube is also made from 12 modules. The one I tried is the second cube. This one is a bit more ornate than the original ninja star cube. It has got...

Modular Cube - Again!

Before trying the Ninja Star Modular Cube, I tried out one last cube. This is again from the book 'Modular Origami Polyhedra'. As before, this is from the chapter on Decoration Box System. Almost all the cubes have the same heading,...

Sonobe Cube from Decoration Box Modules

Since making my last cube, I have made a few more cubes from 12 sheets of paper. All are from the book 'Modular Origami Polyhedra' . This one is a Sonobe Cube formed from Decoration Box modules. We start off folding as for the...

Modular Cube Variation

As I had mentioned in my previous post, I tried out the modular cube variation, this one in orange. The assembly is the same as the modular cube. The only change, in fact, is the way the initial fold is done, so that the reverse...

Robin Glynn's Star Box

Robin Glynn's 6-sided star box turned out to be quite interesting! I rather liked the way the 2D module is turned into a 3D piece. The modules link well together. The lock for the base is slightly difficult to do, but it ensures...

Hexagon Pinwheel Box

The hexagon pinwheel box is a design by Tomoko Fuse, from her book 'Joyful Origami Boxes'. It is made from 6 squares of paper and joined without glue. The lid looks best when folded with duo coloured paper. But I think it looks...

Decoration Box

The Decoration Box is from the book 'Modular Origami Polyhedra' and is designed by Lewis Simon. The cube is made from 12 modules. Variations made from half a square and from dollar bills are also found in the book. Of all the...

The WXYZ, created by Tung Ken Lam, had set in motion the creation a series of planar models by various origamists including Francis Ow, David Petty, Satoshi Kamiya and Meenakshi Mukerji. The WXYZ is among the simplest of the...
