Fibonacci Waves (Evan Zodl)

EZUploaded by Evan ZodlFeb 12, 2013
Designed and folded February 2013. Each model folded from a hexagonal sheet of glassine. I have always been fascinated by the Fibonacci sequence, fractals, and waves, so after stumbling upon a picture of the Fibonacci rose tile, I knew I had to design an origami version of my own! What I find so interesting about this design is that the sizes of the equilateral triangles that make up each wave follow the Fibonacci number sequence-- allowing them to interlock seamlessly. The wave molecules can also be connected and tessellated, so check back soon for more pictures of that! To find out more about the Fibonacci sequence, I highly recommend watching [this video](www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahXIMUkSXX0). If there is enough interest in this design, I would certainly consider releasing the CP or creating diagrams! Please let me know what you think! All comments are greatly appreciated!

Designed and folded March 2026 from 18 square sheets of 3 inch (7.5 cm) kraft paper. This design evolved as a variation of my Roxy’s Star, which I taught at OrigamiUSA's recent Origami Connect session. The units are actually simpler to fold and have strong locks. Diagrams are currently in the works, so let me know if you are interested in test folding!

Designed and folded February 2026 from 8 square sheets of 3.5 kraft paper. The locks are strong and the unit makes it easy to achieve 16 points with only 8 squares. I’m really happy with the result and plan to teach it at the Origami Deutschland convention in May!

Folded from 21 square sheets of kraft paper. This design was inspired by the by the CFC Origami “Red & Green” challenge, Brian Beitel’s modulars that I recently test folded, and my Logarithmic Spiral. This is a recursive modular, meaning each stage is folded from progressively smaller squares. This tiny 3-stage rendition is folded from 21 square sheets of kraft paper (7 sheets per stage, ranging from 1.33” to 3”). Diagrams are currently unavailable.
