This cube is made from a slightly modified variant of my Woven Slit Module (WSM). 36 units are used (6×4 = 24 for the faces and 12 for the edges), made from square paper. Each face of the cube, when not connected to others, can be used as an origami coaster.
Multicolored form cubes 3/4" square. Thank you in advance for all your views, favs and comments. HMM
A few people have asked me over time how to fold the Hydrangea Cube or Hydrangea Icosahedron, so I decided to prepare instructions.
Hydrangea, designed by Shuzo Fujimoto, is a popular origami tessellation whose molecule can be tiled or folded as a standalone model. After slight modification, it can also be used as a modular origami unit for folding cubes, icosahedra and other models.
The idea of making a modular out of modified Hydrangeas came from Meenakshi Mukerji in 2008. Simplified instructions were published in her Exquisite Modular Origami II in 2015. I came upon the same idea independently in 2015, and on flickr I was later able to find pictures of the same design from 2011, made by Anna Alekseeva and (with minor differences) by origami00023, who seem to have also come up with this idea independently.
The unit has two flaps and two pockets in the same arrangement as in Sonobe unit. It is equivalent to Sonobe in that anything that can be made with Sonobe units can also be made with Modular Hydrangea Units, e.g. the icosahedron shown to the right. The connection between units is quite strong and finished models are rather sturdy.
Do notice that folding a Hydrangea, even with just a few levels, is much more time-consuming than folding even the most complex Sonobe variant. You need just six Hydrangeas for the cube but thirty for the icosahedron.
This tutorial assumes that you know how to fold a single Hydrangea. You can find a diagram at

Shuzo Fujimoto’s own instructions can be found in his Folding Origami Hydrangea (おりがみ あじさい折り).

THREE CUBES CUBED = 27
taken for Saturday Self Challenge 07/09/2019 - a shot of something that is a cube .
Well an OXO cube is a fairly iconic cube if ever there was !
Oxo is a brand of food products, including stock cubes, herbs and spices, dried gravy, and yeast extract. The original product was the beef stock cube, and the company now also markets chicken and other flavour cubes, including versions with Chinese and Indian spices. The cubes are broken up and used as flavouring in meals or gravy or dissolved into boiling water.
In the United Kingdom, the OXO brand belongs to Premier Foods. In South Africa, the Oxo brand is owned and manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and in Canada is owned and manufactured by Knorr. Its spelling is trademarked as capital letters: OXO.
An unrelated kitchen-utensils business, owned by Helen of Troy Limited, also has rights to the OXO name.
To take the shot I stuck a flat head nail into one corner so it would stand on one corner , placed on a LED light box ( usually used for parchment work ) . The resulting shot of the OXO cube was put into Serif Craftartist and made into three on a black background and then the remaining 24 cubes ( slightly smaller to enhance the three main ones ) were added to arrive at 27 !
Now for sight and sound I had to post a series of adverts that ran back in the day when adverts were adverts and the OXO family ads were quite a thing back in the day ( hands up those who remember them ) , so a very short compilation of a few of them . Oh , and the dad in the ads was a regular customer at one of the dry cleaners where I worked but not at my branch .
Thanks in advance for any comments and faves , I will be away from the computer for a few days .
Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom, this residential development stands apart as its homes are literally cubes, tilted over by 45 degrees.

So I finished my internship yesterday! I had my powerpoint presentation and poster presentation yesterday as well--both went swimmingly. I really do dislike public speaking, but after I got warmed up and stopped shaking, I was able to present my data well. I'm relieved to be done and stress free for the next week, but I do miss my job a lot! I got lucky and had some really awesome coworkers, and mentors there, and I'm going to miss them. This morning I woke up at 7:30 like I normally do for work (my body naturally wakes me up), and I just couldn't relax! I spent the morning cleaning the kitchen for my mom (it looks beautiful and she's thrilled), baking Challah with my friend, and taking these bubble pictures for my dad's birthday present! I have a few others, but I'm planning to print his favorite on canvas.
I go back to school in 7 days :O
This shot was done using a square glass jar from target, with styrofoam pushed into the bottom (the white bokeh) and added club soda. I'm going to try this with a bunch of different objects! I also used my speedlite on camera for lighting purposes. It's reminiscent of this image www.flickr.com/photos/sarahnatanaphotography/4922077691/i... I took 2 full years ago!
Located in the Cube. The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) occupies the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Cube, adjacent to Rivergate Tower in downtown Tampa, Florida. FMoPA is part of the Waterfront Arts District, along with the Tampa Museum of Art and Glazer Children's Museum, all located alongside the Tampa Riverwalk.
This shot was taken in Dorset at the end of a great day with Mark Eggleton. It's a 260 second exposure. I'm still not convinced about the composition, but after climbing on top of one of those cubes and managing not to break my gear, I had to post the resulting picture.
Alamo, also known as the Astor Place Cube or simply The Cube, is an outdoor sculpture by Bernard (Tony) Rosenthal, located on Astor Place, in the East Village, Manhattan, New York City. The cube is made of Cor-Ten steel and weighs about 1,800 pounds. The faces of the cube are not flat but have various indentations, protrusions, and ledges. The sculpture's name, Alamo, is designated on a small plaque on one corner of the base and was selected by the artist's wife because its scale and mass reminded her of the Alamo Mission. Installed in 1967 as part of the "Sculpture and the Environment" organized by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cube was one of 25 temporary art installations that were intended to remain for a six-month period, however local residents successfully petitioned the city to keep the Alamo. Although not within its design, the Cube can be spun on its vertical axis. As the heavy Cube takes more than one person to rotate, it has become a way for friends and strangers to bond.

Capturing the cube in a cage is quite an interesting imagination.I like it.
For this one, I'd like to call it 囚绿记(capturing green).
The third cube has been discovered. It lay deep in the desert next to a previously unknown oasis. While the ruins around it bear familiar architectural stylings, they are different enough to defy efforts to definitively identify their builders. We still don’t know what the cubes are, how many more there are, who made them, and what their purpose is. Perhaps time will tell, though I’m not holding my breath anymore.
Thanks again to Zachary Steinman for providing the breakdown photos of some of his cubes that made making this one possible.
This was a lot of fun. I had to stretch myself to learn some new things, including how to do palm trees. The core of the tops are actually a new technique (I think) that makes heavy use of the minifig action bar element. The water coloring was lifted directly from the Great Pyramid of Giza set and then extended to fill the space. I think my favorite detail is the sphinxes.
When I show the cubes at events, I play a game with the public with a little prize, usually a pick-a-brick wall piece that’s in theme with the scene in question. It’s a finding Waldo, I Spy-type seek and find game with the LEGO frog element. The jungle has one green frog in the foliage, the reef has 12 different colors of frogs used throughout the scene, and this new oasis has five tan frogs hidden in the ruins. Is a lot of fun, and people of all kinds and ages seem to enjoy it.
Actor and rapper, Ice Cube, stands in front of Kebo's [Cube's bodyguard's] lowriding Cadillac called "Supreme Hustle". This car appeared in Cube's movie, Next Friday, as the car that the next door neighbor drove. Kebo, himself, also appeared in the movie as the limo driver for the record store owner named "Pinky". This image was shot on 35mm slide film (Fuji Chrome) and has no PhotoShopping or digitial manipulation done to it, other than the website address added in the bottom corner.
This image is available as a high quality 20x30-inch poster print which you can then get framed if you desire! Let me know if you're interested in purchasing a poster print for only $40 (price includes shipping in a rolled tube within the continental U.S. and is signed by Volo, the photographer).
