Also the young Santa's have to learn a lot and must practice, so that one day they can preform their job perfectly. These three little youngsters are building something, part of their education, although I'm not quite sure what it will be....... another little present for someone, that's for sure ;-)) And they have still some time to finish it.....

Origami Santa [¿Bueno o Malo?] by Bernie Peyton
This Santa has two faces and so you can give him two expressions. I didn't do that, like it the way it is now ;-)
Folded from 15x15cm kamipaper.

Original model Stella Pitti
Not Sadako Sasaki!
Folded from a sheet of 25 x 80 cm of sketch paper (Sadako and white part of the screen) and a sheet of 14 x 26 cm of black paper (screen frame).
The model is designed to handle color changes, but the white paper is very transparent, and didn't show as white as I wanted for the body and arms. So, only the hair part is actually double-sided. The rest of the paper is uni-colored.
I like that the transparency of the white paper makes the screen grayish though!
As said before, I wanted to see what the pattern would look like if I did all the same folding steps of the "Kathy Flower" on one side. This is "Phase 2".
I did the closest distance and then it turns out to be more related to the second one in "Growth".
You can see it "here", if you want. It's the second column.
Phase 1 looks like this, a whole field of "Swirling Stars".
Yet another variant of Star Ananke. Variants of this star were designed independently by myself and by others before me: Wei Fu, and Robin Glynn.

As mentioned before, I like the triangle-like hexagon a lot, here you see two results. There are more possibilities......
In the upper row front and back using the little triangle-like hexagon. In the lower row a bigger one.
I'm probably not the first one who discovers this, but I found it independently.
Here you can see a highlighted version of both frontsides.
Both folded from a hexagon of soft, fine-textured paper, about 18 cm, grid 1:32.

"Dictator" meaning an arrogant man with the long arms and hollow breast (heart).
Folded: 2011
From one uncut square paper.
*Intended to be a rough sketch.
Folded from a 100 x 33 cm sheet of sketch paper.
This is the Angel holding a flower from Andersen's fairy tale. The model is based on my usual human pattern for the arms and shoulder parts, but the skirt is inspired by the Girl in a Dress by Stefan Weiss. The wings are a simple tweak on the accordion fold, and the hair was obtained by crumpling the paper, a first for me!
Created for Origami Deutschland's 2016 competition on the theme Fairy Tales. It is part of the larger scene 13 Tales.
This is one of Fujimoto’s _translucent designs_, a name he used for many of his tessellations. Folded from rare blue Elephant Hide paper, this work is not very much translucent, but on the other hand this thick paper shows the texture of the model well in reflected light.
Front and back feature somewhat different patterns, both involving equilateral triangles. The way I know which side should be considered front and which back is I got my hands on a picture of this design folded by Fujimoto (see below) and since he used duo paper, I assumed front was the color side.
There are no instructions for this model in Fujimoto’s books apart from pictures of finished model in strong back-light and of rather poor quality (Twist Origami I, page 33; Introduction to Creative Playing with Origami, page 163). Fortunately, thanks to Satoko Saito, I also got hold of a picture of another fold by Fujimoto himself, and that one was a color picture, in reflected light, and of much higher quality, making the reverse-engineering much easier. In a way, this design can be viewed as a triangle twist tessellation with modified pleat assignment.

I'm not sure if you can really repeat it ;) I mean without glue ;)
The units hold only due to the structure, no flaps, no pockets.
The unit shows exactly 50% of the initial square ;)

Arrow Corrugation, designed independently with Polly Verity. Viewed at an angle and in direct sunlight, this model displays the arrows quite prominently. Read more in my previous posts or at origami.kosmulski.org/models/arrow-corrugation
Folded and designed by me. Without using sciossors or glue.
Folded from a 65 x 102 cm piece of 356 g/m² watercolor paper.
Whirlwind tessellation molecule, as seen on the Whirlwind Box (top-down view). The design is closely related to my Woven Triangles family, but I gave it a different name since all Woven Triangles variants are flat while this one is 3D and looks best with curved folds.

This is actually the back side, but put this way it's surely hypnotising.
Quadra-A tessellation

Princess Zelda from the Zelda video-game series. With the triforce! The original model may look simple, but all of the little details and ornaments make it really difficult to re-design. I simplified a lot of them.

I found this unit independently last year, but the unit is discovered by Ekaterina Lukasheva : www.kusudama.me/#/Clematis/Carambola
Here you see two "different" tessellations, backlit. Front and backside are now crossed, instead of beside each other. I did this because in my eyes all sides are fronts sides ;-))
They have been discovered by many people, so I call them "Basics".
Each folded from hexagon about 17cm, glassine, grid 1:32
Here you can see "Basics", in real life, using the same patterns, but folded with different paper.
Nothing new for people who make tessellations, but I thought it would be nice, for those who don't fold, to give a little inside how basics forms can be altered into different shapes. It's a little exploring I started during the summer holidays ;-)
Happy weekend!

I don't know if I gonna make the 1,000 horses but certainly am closer to that number, I really enjoy the folding sequence of this design and don't have to say it but anyway this is my favorite horse design.

Folded as a wedding gift for my friends.
The cranes are a model of Roman Diaz, folded from a 33 x 33 cm sheet of sketch paper. The pine tree is made of three long sheets of the same paper, wet-folded.
The corrugation and a single molecule.

This monument to the origami Pajarita advertises EMOZ, one of the few origami museums in the world. Both the monument and the museum are located in Zaragoza, Spain, and we had the opportunity to pay a long visit there during CfC conference. It's great to see such a large collection of models in one place, available all the time and to everyone, rather than just for a short time during a convention. There is a permanent part of the exhibition, dedicated to the history of origami, and a larger temporary exhibition, currently “The expresion of geometry, origami mix of media” by Saadya Sternberg, Ilan Garibi and Ynon Toledano. The monument is made of metal and represents the folded structure of the model quite precisely, but for practical reasons, it is welded from several flat sheets of metal rather than actually folded.

That happens to a rose when you fold it from gray paper ;)
Opus T-21
I'm teaching a course in Berlin this July, drawing on the paper folding exercises taught at the Bauhaus by Josef Albers as part of his preliminary course. To that end, I've been reverse-engineering all of the examples I've been able to find from historical documentation.
This model is from a family of simple cone shapes - made from varying numbers of alternating cuts, expanding outwards in rings. Alternating the number of cuts, the distances of them, the space between rings - all makes big changes in the geometry of the final piece. A fascinating family of structures to study!
