Roxy's Star

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.

This model was a test fold, before I folded Infinity in a [nicer paper](https://www.ezorigami.com/folds/8-stage-infinity-79ea). It seemed a shame not to share it, especially as I was able to fold 10 stages. It's folded from 80 squares of green kami. Paper for the largest stage measures 150mm, and paper for the tenth stage measures just 13.52mm! The overall model measures 300mm between points.

This model, is folded from 30 golden rectangles of kraft paper, each measuring 44.8mm x 72.5mm. The completed model measures approximately 11cm at its widest point. This photo shows the models five-fold symmetry, with an even colour distribution. The unit is almost identical to that of the [Rhombic Hexecontahedron](https://www.ezorigami.com/folds/rhombic-hexecontahedron-c3de), except both flaps are valley folds when viewed from the outside.
