I folded this model quite a long time ago, but never found a suitable method of backlighting it, until now. I particularly like the effect that backlighting the model gives. By placing a sheet of glass over the model (thus flattening it), I was able to get more defined colour changes, but decided that I preferred the softer lighting.
It's folded from one square of orange kami, measuring 30cm. The overall model measures 15cm, side to side. To date, this is the most levels that I've managed to fold on an Hydrangea.
