Folds

This model has been in progress for over half a year... I paused when I'd completed five stages, then completed the smallest three stages when I attended Origami Deutschland's 36th Convention, in Bonn. It's folded from 64 squares of silver/black duo kraft paper. The colours Evan picked seemed to work well, so I went with the same! Paper for the largest stage measures 100mm, and paper for the eighth stage measures just 15.38mm! The overall model measures 200mm between points.

This model, is folded from 10 squares of duo kraft paper, each measuring 48mm. The completed model measures approximately 10cm at its widest point.

This model, is folded from 8 squares of duo kraft paper, each measuring 72.5mm. The completed model measures approximately 10cm at its widest point. I was playing around with the colours and quite like the alternating gold/silver and blue/silver!

This model, is folded from 60 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 three-fold symmetry, with an even colour distribution. The design was inspired by Nick Robinson's A4 Rhombic Unit.

This model, is folded from 60 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 design was inspired by Nick Robinson's A4 Rhombic Unit.

This model, is folded from 57 squares of dyed pulp kraft paper, each measuring 48mm. The completed model measures 193mm x 223mm and the units hold together really well, (without glue). I learnt how to fold this when Evan taught it at OrigamiUSA's - Convention 2021.

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 twenty-one uncut squares. Each cube is folded from two slightly different units. They are simple to fold, lock together nicely from behind, and can easily be arranged into different configurations. The cubes can also be tessellated to enhance the illusion. Diagrams are currently unavailable.

This is a 30-unit version of the traditional Pinwheel Cube. The unit is almost identical, with the exception of one additional, diagonal valley fold through the centre of the square face.
