Origami Swan Sonobe - Icosahedron

 My final sonobe variation for now, from the book "Marvelous Modular Origami" by Meenakshi Mukerji is the Origami Swan Sonobe, assembled into an icosahedron and made from 30 modules. The icosahedron assembly is another...

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 Daisy Sonobe Cube

 After working on the Origami Hearty Cube by Meenakshi Mukerji, I decided to delve back into my other origami books by the same author and decided to try out some of her Sonobe Variations. I love folding the Sonobe and...

New Year's Day Origami Star

Paolo Bascetta's stellated dodecahedron, also known as the Bascetta Star is, I think, the most well-known of Bascetta's creations. I also love this Compass Rose folded quite some time back.  During these coronavirus...

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...

Happy New Year 2020!

Happy New Year 2020! The old year has passed and as we step into a new year, here's to a wonderful, peaceful and blessed new year to everyone out there! PaperNPearlz has been doing pretty well this year! Posts have been fairly...

Origami Apricot

After making this origami kusudama, designed by Ekaterina Lukasheva, I have a special respect for people who work with miniatures! For this model, I had some double-sided paper that was left over from a previous origami modular...

Origami Cassiopeia Kusudama - Happy Mother's Day

Uniya Filonova's Cassiopeia Kusudama has been on my to-do list for quite some time. Finally, this Mother's Day seemed to be the right occasion to try out this eye-catching design. Did you know that Cassiopeia is actually the...

Blue Tang - Finding Dory

Once I finished the clown fish, a.k.a Nemo, I found that there was a similar modular version of Nemo's friend - Dory, who is a Blue Tang. So I ended up making this one too. This model is even easier to do than Nemo, because of...

Origami Jaciara - Variation 2

After folding the Jaciara from the book 'Modern Kusudama Origami' by Ekaterina Lukasheva, I decided to give it another go. Only this time I tried out one of the variations of the model. And I used a smaller square, since I wasn't...

Jaciara

'Modern Kusudama Origami' by Ekaterina Lukasheva is an excellent book on modular origami. To date I have already tried out 3 models and here is the fourth one - the Jaciara. For the first attempt, I went ahead with the recommended...

Wreath

Here's a wreath that I made for Christmas. The problem is that I had made use of a tutorial that I had saved a long time back, but unfortunately I know neither the name nor the creator of the wreath. Hmm.. Big problem! But I...

Origami Cyclon

Aldo Marcell's modular origami models are really, really pretty to look at! I had previously done the ever-popular Tornado. So this time, I decided to work on the Cyclon model. Overall, the model is very economical, in that,...

Serenade

Restarted folding some models from Ekaterina Lukasheva's book 'Modern Kusudama Origami'. The model I tried now is titled 'Serenade', found on page 28. The modules are pretty easy to fold. Either 12 modules or 30 modules are...

Heart Bracelet

Well, Little Miss's interest in origami continues. But now it is more managerial - which means she decides what I should fold and what colours I should use and then she waits for me to complete folding it before she proceeds...

Floral Origami Globes - Parallelogram with Type II Base

Yet another of Tomoko Fuse's models - this one from her book 'Floral Origami Globes', called Parallelogram Floral Globe. The thing I love about this book is that each module is made of 2 parts - a basic unit (which looks like...

Woven Star

Every once in a while, I get obsessed with an origami design and keep making it again and again. My last one was Dasa Severova's Origami Woven Star, a modular star made from 16 units. I tried the model with ombré shades of...

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....

Snapology Egg

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....
