Bookshelf and Books
Design from the book "Origami Omnibus" by Kunihiko Kasahara (available on Flipkart)
Paper: 60cm x 60cm square of recycled paper.
Final size: 10.5 cm x 21cm
Complexity: Difficult
It is a bit like a Masu box with dividers, but the design is quite ingenious. The paperback books are made with paper one quarter the size of the shelf.
Snapology Icosahedron
Design by Heinz Strobl
Paper: 30 strips 1:6 for the triangles, 20 strips 1:4 for locking, of copy paper.
Video instructions here.
An Icosahedron is a regular polygon with 20 triangular faces.This model is actually an icosahedron with the triangles projecting out perpendicularly.
Snapology is the term coined for folding Origami using long paper strips.
I made this with the paper left over after cutting squares out of a lot of colour copy paper! The overall design is just like that of a kusudama, so you will have 12 stars such as the yellow one you see in the picture here.
Away to Gudalur on my bicycle
I have not been doing much Origami during the last couple of days, as I am preparing for my long ride to Gudalur with Go! MAD Cycle Tours. So I am going to post a couple of models from the archives this time. I hope to be back next week with some new models.
A simple version of Fireworks
These are also called Flexagons, as they can be "flexed". These fireworks can be turned inside out continuously, and they are fun to play with because jump a bit when you flex them.
Spring Into Action
Design by Jeff Beynon.
From one A4 sheet of copy paper.
The model can be made completely flat, or stretched, just like a paper spring. The design is very simple, but involves tedious folding of lots of diagonals across a narrow rectangular grid.
