If you want to try it too, there are several tutorials on YouTube, like this one.
It is not so difficult and no glue needed, have fun folding ;-))
This 'Star Cruller' is very much related to the 'Twinkle Cruller' (see first comment box), just a few creases are different.
On the left you see the 5 unit version and on the right a variation with 7 units. As mentioned before the more units assembled, the more the model looks like a star . I like a 7 pointed star ;-))
Have a nice Thursday
Paper:
Both stars are folded from a square piece of double side colored Freudenberg paper 11,5x11,5cm.
Final size:
- 5unit Star: diameter 12xm, height 2cm
- 7unit Star: diameter 14cm, height 0,5cm
Model : Origami 'Star Cruller' and variation

This is the definite version of "A star is born", a spherical star with 30 points. Folded from vellum-paper, which gives also such beautiful backlight result.
This paper has one restriction though, you can only use it for origami models or elements, that require just a few folding steps, otherwise you will get too many unwanted creases or the paper might even tear.
I folded this star for a neighbor. She had bought it as a folding-packet (paper and instruction included) and asked me to fold it.
So I first started with folding 10 elements of the bigger paper, as you can see here, but she wanted this smaller one. ;-)

James Sadoka uses his Eight-Point Star as a base to create several 'abstract' origami animal models. You will see them the next few days.
Sometimes is it fun to fold with paper that has a symmetrical pattern and than make photo with the folded model on top of it. ;-))
Model: origami 'Eight-Point Star'

Diagrams in the book 'Modern Origami" by James Sakoda
Paper: 15x15cm Blütenmotiv, Nice Papers
Final size 'Eight-Point Star' about 6,5cm
If you are interested to see more of his 'modern origami-models', you are invited to visit my origami-album James Sakoda. Enjoy ;-)
Another example of modular folding, but this time it is flat ;-)
You see both sides of just one origami model:
- on the left the frontside looking like a snow crystal or star
- on the right the backside looking like a flower.
You need 6 modules. I used six pieces of kamipaper, size 11,9x11.9cm. Final size: diameter 12cm.

5 points joint together make a 5-pointed star. I hop you see that the '5-pointed bottom' is flat and 5 point are peaking.
I forgot to mention that one point is made of 3 elements and for this star you will need 10 elements.
I also made a different image, you can see that here, if you want.

"""Star Sadoku has been spotted and is in orbit around Earth….."""
A lovely design made of 24 pieces of paper, like this one or even a bigger one (32 pieces). But you need glue….
I decided to fold it in the traditional Xmas colors.
Name: Star Sadoku
Design: Fermin Fernandez Mendez
Diagrams can be found here.
There is also a tutorial.
Folded from double-colored Kraftpaper, 7,5x7,5cm, 24 pieces
This 'sweet home' origami at Xmas was on my "to-want-to old"-list for some years. I had already folded the different parts, but didn't have any idea how to photograph it, until now.
Wishing everybody a lovely joyful and heartwarming time with your family and friends.
Happy Holidays, dear friends and thank you very much for your visit, your nice comments and thoughts. I appreciate it a lot.

Except for the 'Sailboat', which is a traditional model and there is a video-tutorial.
I test folded for Alphonsus Rouis this lovely Origami Star "Joyvhe".
Thanks, Alphonsus! :)
There were some other testfolders too, and they made lovely renditions with different paper, so I decided to use two colors and then you see the two triangles better.
Tereza Corsini had a beautiful idea and I also folded a big and little one. But I just put it on top of the bigger one.
Each star is folded from 6 units
Unit size: bronze rectangles
Here is the link how to make: square to bronze rectangle

May your dreams come true in 2020 and let your star rise and shine in every color you want ;-))
Model: 5-pointed Puff Star

There is a photo tutorial how to fold the star and also how to make
a decagon, both on the website of Oschene AKA Philip Chapman-Bell.
Or if you prefer a video tutorial by Paper Kawai.
So have fun folding ;-)
Paper: white glassine, decagon diameter 25cm
Final size: about 17cm
This is how 'Dark' looks like when all the 6 elements are put together: a modular snowflake with a lovely star in the middle.
To show that this model is really 3D, I used a mirror, so you can see the star and the side. And now it seems this snowflake is floating on her own reflection ;-)) Magic is in the air !
Also I made another topview photo with backlight, where you see the 'Star' in the middle in a different way(s).

Folded from 6 pieces of white kamipaper, 15x15cm. Final height 11cm.
This is how the origami snowflake /star /flower variations look like in natural light. Yesterday I uploaded the backlit version.
I also arranged them differently, now the upper row are the basics and the variations are whirling like real snowflakes do.

I folded all these models with a same seize and kind of paper: a little hexagon, glassine, 10x10cm. Final size of most of them is about 5cm.
Obviously, when looking for origami-snowflakes you also find those, created by grandmaster Shuzo Fujimoto. For many folders origami-tessellation have been started by him in the late 1960's. He was and still is a great inspiration for many of us.
So I show you the snowflakes-models (backlit) from his book, which was released to honor him.
One can also say that the snowflakes look like flowers or stars and I agree, it also depends on the paper, that is used for folding.
I folded all these models with a same seize and kind of paper, a little hexagon, glassine, 10x10cm. Final size of most of them is about 5cm.
The first left one of each row is the basic one and then the variation(s) follow.
My "light-box" isn't big enough, so I had to take two shots and join them into one image. That explains the difference in yellow in the lower section. Haven't figured it out how to handle that problem, so suggestions are welcome. Meanwhile I hope you don't mind and still enjoy the origami treasures ;-))

A last tribute to my dearest mother-in-law, who passed away in her sleep last week. She had been ill for some time.
I folded this bouquet of flowers (with the help of a friend to finish it on time), representing her (she is the sunflower), her children with their partners (the roses) and her grandchildren with their partners (the stars).
We will miss her very much.
I will be absent from Flickr for some days. Take care and see you later.
Final size of this origami flower arrangement is about 70cm.

I'm just dropping in to say hi :)
Sorry all my flickr friends for not visiting you very frequently.
Life has been so hectic lately, there's hardly any time for my favorite thing in the world.... photography.
Don't you sometimes wish that life was simpler? easier?
Esse é o lugar favorito do Kaito para se esconde do assédio das meninas da casa. Por ser o único menino no meio de tantas nendos, ele é bem cobiçado. xD

Oi, gente! Quanto tempo, né?! Um mês e 6 dias para ser exata.
Como estão todos?
Eu achei que fosse aparecer de novo por aqui só daqui uns 2 anos, de tão desanimada que estava com tudo. Mas esses dias longe me fizeram perceber que não era realmente desânimo, era cansaço. Eu estava focando todas as minhas energias extras nas fotos e nos posts do blog, e com isso sobrava 0 de energia para fotografar as dolls e escrever histórias. Mas nesse final de semestre precisei parar de dar atenção pro blog, e então percebi como ele estava me consumindo.
Foi libertador ler os meus livros sem pensar em escrever resenhas no blog em seguida ou pensar em sessões de fotos para eles, ou abrir minhas figures sem esperar um momento onde pudesse fotografá-las para fazer a review no blog.
E o melhor de tudo: foi ótimo sentir saudade de fotografar e escrever sem ser uma obrigação, sem ser para o blog.
O que era pra me deixar relaxada estava me estressando como um trabalho, e, sinceramente, não vale a pena.
Acho que no momento prefiro investir em coisas que me relaxam e animam, como as minhas histórias, dolls e figures, e as galerias de vocês.
Bom, isso tudo é pra dizer que voltarei a dar atenção para a minha galeria, para as minhas histórias e dollzinhas e deixarei o blog em hiato por enquanto. Até eu decidir definitivamente o que fazer.
Desculpem o sumiço, gente... Espero que possamos retomar de onde paramos. <3
Um ótimo sábado para todos!
Tchau, tchau!
Modular Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 12 units, no glue
some similar designs:
www.flickr.com/photos/goorigami/25552396143
www.flickr.com/photos/goorigami/25550272394
Paper: Hexagon, transparent paper
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Hoshi to Yuki no Origami p. 122 (Variant C)
Paper: 5 cm, metall and metallic paper
Modules: 8
Model: Carmen Sprung
Book: Origami 21 Sterne, p. 50
I tested some metallic paper for the christmas project of a colleague of mine. The one on the right is no paper but really a thin metall; a nightmare to fold. The result is not worth the effort, and the tips of the star are sharp, so, no, it's not usable for Origami. The other two are papers, no foil, so not as shiny as we wished for. Origami foil would be way better.
Zebra Star - another version (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 30 units, no glue
I went through quite a few folding sequences with this star and eventually narrowed them down to just two. Now I can't make up my mind about which one to keep. Here is a draft diagram for both versions.
I would really appreciate it if you could give me some opinion on which one is better!
Origami Star a la Bascetta (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 30 units, no glue
30° at the tip
There were other varieties of this kind of design by a few designers. Here are a couple of mine from 2011 with ~35.8° and 33.75°:
Merry Christmas - Frohe Weihnachten - Feliz Navidad - Buon Natale - Joyeux Noel - クリスマスおめでとう
Ich wünsche allen gemütliche, besinnliche und feierliche Festtage
Modular Origami Star /
OK, I'd better upload this really quick while I have the internet connection! Which is not something you find easily in the bush //and not something you go to the bush for, to be completely fair//
Stayed four nights in Skukuza camp. Spending this one in Olifants, then moving to Letaba for 5 more nights! Lots of animals along the way (wild dogs and leopards in trees included) - so I'm already extremely happy with the trip.
Wish everyone happy holiday season and all the best in the New Year!!!
Origami Kusudama, 60° at the tip (Maria Sinayskaya)
squares, 30 units, no glue
Looks very similar to Bascetta Star, but inside it's anything but. In my very biased opinion of course))
This flower is dedicated to the one who was the first person wanting me to fold tessalations... Thank you for fighting with me :D
NOW is your pay back: I give you a PEACE STAR FLOWER called your name.
Get well soon baradar!
Paper: 15, 11.25, 8.44 cm, each cutted into 12 pieces
Modules: 12 per star, that is 36
Model: Aldo Marcell
Book: Origami sin Fronteras p. 27
Fractal models attract me always, so has done this. Each starting sheet (which is cutted into 12 sheets for a whole star) is 3/4 of the larger one. I started with 15 cm and 8.44 was already quite small, which made some folding steps hard and assembly not so stable. So I decided not to go smaller.
Perhaps I fold a larger surrounding star to make it 4 iterations in the end. Both this flat variant is possible, as is is "doble" variant.
Inspired by *Sherry*.
I found these instructions to have the most precise folding measurements, and this site for great paper selection and values.
Oh, and even though the shiny, metallic and hologram papers are really pretty, I personally found it very difficult to make the slippery surface hold their creases or shapes very well :)
Merry Christmas - Frohe Weihnachten - Feliz Navidad - Buon Natale - Joyeux Noel - クリスマスおめでとう
I wish you a healthy and happy holiday season with family and friends, and all the best in the new year!

And this concludes my Sunday to Sunday origami series; I'm officially out of unique pieces until I see Scott again, which hopefully isn't too far in the future.
Spent the majority of the day enjoying the air conditioning in the mall with excellent company (thanks Ma) so photography had to wait until after dinner. Luckily Nard and I splurged and bought extra treats this week and we were still able to actually eat our desserts and save these treats for tomorrow.
Hope everyone has had a good day!

"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought." - Matsuo Basho

Well, would you look at that? Seems Flickr has undergone another makeover, and to be honest I don't hate it. I don't love it, but compared to what we've been presented with in the recent past, this is a much needed step in the right direction.
Now, if only Flickr would stop trying to be a social media site like instagram, or Facebook and just keep on being Flickr, a place to showcase photography, then we'd have it made.
Otherwise, a busy day that has left me feeling rather burnt out and tired. I've had a headache since last night that just doesn't want to go away, but it is my Friday so hopefully knowing that I've the next 5 days off will alleviate some of the throbbing.
I'm surprised by how difficult coming up with a set-up for today's photo was, I tried many different locations, but in the end, the minimal lighting in the basement won out for a slightly dramatic look.
In the end, I think that the mood of this image really suits the wonderful jar of stars that Scott folded for me. Now the jar of stars is back on display in the kitchen, so anyone who visits can admire his handiwork.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.
