Origami love star designed by Francis Ow and Andrey Lukyanov
It's actually 16 units but I made 12 unit mandala. While assembling, I couldn't place the two units without the hearts overlapping. I tried for sometime but in vain. So I did my own assembly.
I took 3 inch X 6 inch rectangle patterned papers

Chrysanthemum II
Designed by Tomoko Fuse
I used 1.75 x 3 inch papers from Tuttle
I first folded Sonobe icosahedron. I didn't want to post just the sonobe. I decided to fold 90 unit sonobe. Then realised it'll take time and the model will be very big. One unit requires two papers. So a 90 unit sonobe would've taken 180 units.
I then decided to do spiked pentakis dodecahedron with 60 units. Somehow i got lazy during the process. After nearly a month, last two days i made up my mind rigid and day for 3 hours each day to finish off.
When i took the photo, i was not happy how the spiked pentakis dodecahedron looked. The designs don't stand out due to patterns in the paper. The photo doesn't do justice you see. Anyhow, i finished this project.
Instructions are in Tomoko Fuse's book.
Until next time Sayonara 🐿️🐦🐇
