I was inspired to fold this pixel art, after seeing this same design folded by Margaret Tsui.  It comprises of 576 individual pixel units, folded from 3:4 rectangles, each measuring 3.75cm (1.5") x 5cm (2").  The overall design measures approximately 30cm (12") square.

The following number of each colour were used:

- 194 x Sky Blue
- 137 x Green
- 119 x Brown
- 44 x Red
- 39 x Beige
- 34 x Blue
- 7 x Black
- 2 x Yellow

I used Toyo branded kami for this design, as it comes in a huge array of colours, though it's worth noting that darker colours sometimes transfer to lighter pixels during assembly.  To avoid this, I found that inserting a plaster collar stiffener, helped to provide protection to the surface of the piece being connected to, whilst locking the units together.

Pixel units hold together extremely well, and the final piece is very robust.  The pixels around the edge are slightly modified, to give a clean edge.
