Love star

 




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

 



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 ๐Ÿฟ️๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‡

My first video tutorial

 



With kind permission of Meenakshi Mukerji I made a video of her design striped sonobe from the book Marvelous Modular Origami.

It's my first video, so it might seem amateurish. In the video i have demonstrated a sonobe icosahedron.

In the photo:

30 units sonobe icosahedron 

24 unit sonobe cube

12 unit sonobe cube


Link to the video:


I recently folded a family of striped sonobe which include spiked pentakis dodecahedron, 90 unit sonobe along with these three models.

Many thanks to Meenakshi.

Striped sonobe family

 



12 units cube, 

30 units sonobe

60 units spiked pentakis dodecahedron and

90 units sonobe

Using Striped sonobe unit designed by Meenakshi Mukerji @origamee , instructions available in her book Marvelous Modular Origami.

It was a real pleasure folding these geometric models. For 60 units pentakis and 90 units sonobe , i had to use glue... I assembled both of them and when i was half way through, i decided it's getting unstable. So i ripped them apart and started using glue.

But it was a good experience.

For 12 units and 90 units sonobe I've used 5 cm square papers.

For 60 units pentakis I've used 7 cm paper.

For 30 unit sonobe, I've used 7.5 cm.

Papers used: I've used harmony, duo and kami papers.

Until next time, Sayonara ๐Ÿฟ️๐Ÿฟ️๐Ÿฟ️

Spiked pentakis dodecahedron

 












Spiked pentakis dodecahedron

I had to scratch my head a little bit to understand this polyhedron. I'm glad i could figure out in the end... 

I used basic sonobe unit to construct this.

60 units and 7 cm papers used

I tried to assemble as is but the units kept falling out. I went on for sometime and gave up and used glue. 

Step by step instructions available in this website
