Logophilic Butterfly Origami

A butterfly-adorned isocahedron made from vintage dictionary and thin washi papers. It is composed of 27 identical modules, as well as 3 modules folded specially to hold the butterflies. These special modules allow for the butterflies to be securely attached without adhesive.

 

The visible print on this piece is designed to inspire and entertain: parts of words at times run into others, creating new vocabulary, and snippets of definitions, though cut and placed (mostly) at random, will evoke different things to different readers.

 

 

This piece was my take on the elegant design by Kalami; folding instructions can be found here.

 

Many thanks, Kalami, for the lovely design and instructions!
