Folds/Fibonacci Waves (Evan Zodl)

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!

Here’s my latest modular flower design! 🌺 Designed and folded May 2026 from six 3” (7.5cm) squares of back-coated mulberry paper. This model was a result of doodling during CFC6. It can be folded from 5 or 6 units and the units are extremely simple to fold. Assembly is tricky and requires small clothespins, but it is very sturdy on its own once all units are assembled. I’ll post more variations of this flower soon. I can’t decide which I like the best. Naming suggestions are welcome as well. Let me know what you think! 😊

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!
