Roxy's Star

I learnt how to fold this star during one of Evan's classes at the Origami Deutschland 2026 Convention in Bonn. This model is folded from 8 squares of green/gold duo kraft paper, each measuring 72.5mm. The completed model measures approximately 10.5cm at its widest point.

This is one of my favourite models in [Maria's Zen Origami](https://www.ezorigami.com/books/zen-origami-4a2e) book. It's folded from thirty 2:3 rectangles, of patterned paper, each measuring 2" x 3" (50.8mm x 76.2mm). The overall model measures approximately 12cm (4.75"), at its widest point.

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.
