Folded from a 33 x 66 cm sheet of sketch paper.
I never noticed that before folding this piece, but does really have huge ears!
Similarly to its companion piece, the Cheetah Head, this model is based on box-pleating, except for the eyes. Glue has also been used to close up the model on the sides.
This box is decorated with Whirlwind molecule which can also be used for a tessellation. Its 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.
Unlike original Zipper, this one is not collapsible, you can't force it
more (you surely can do that with Zipper). I've got this one by eliminating rectangles of Zipper to zero

I had the idea of such a modular for a long time, but finally it came to some very nice-foldable and square-foldable form :)

Same as those on previous picture but having more repetitions of the same pattern... Not as effective as flower tower, as here next level is less than half, thus it's eating more paper. Folded from 30 cm of kami. The last level I opted not to try to finish it completely as it wasn't enough precise for that. The finish on the center is the same as on violet doodle... :)
Designed and folded by me.

My Archerfish's smaller yet more intensively color-changed cousin.
Color change was pretty whack, but at least I sorta nailed it.
Wonder how the CP will look like.

Paper : Goatskin, 93gsm, 33x33cm. It's been a while since I last folded this dove. Trying to recall how I used to render it. Getting close. Ron's original design is kind of flattish while this rendition is rather 3D.

Will probably revisit, both the fold and the photography.
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.

A simple design with a easy fun folding sequence
Took a lot of time to take the photo and edit it, but I think it turned out great

I'm pretty sure that this one must be invented before. You can easily
reverse-engineer it too...
Beautiful and easy one.
1 pentagon for each.

Needed some time to finish this one. The grid is 1:128 and I wanted to fold this as flower as a center for the Camellia, but forgot to fold the outer petals, so it's something different ^-^
And the shapping ate up most of the time...

Actually it's his model "Ginomo", but if you omit steps 10 and 11 the model becomes a Santa Claus.

On the spring BOS convention in Birgmingham (april 2014) I met Giles Towning. He has got lovely designs! He developed this 'flower'model from the classic $Flower in a Pot (Herman Lau). It makes the model an iso form and it also has a color change. So you can decide whether you want to fold one of two flower(s) in one pot ;-))
Folded from a rectangle the length of an A4, two-sided kraftpaper.

A golden origami version of this flower from Yureiko AKA Melina Hermsen. As I don't have the "Julia"paper, I folded this little tesselation-like flower with foil paper. It's a standing model.
Folded from a hexagon 24cm, grid 1:16. Finished model is about 10cm and 3cm high.
Together with In the Fjord (flic.kr/p/2idk8au), this is from my Norwegian fjord series of origami works. Folded from hand-made paper with oatmeal.
Did you ever think what happens, when roses disappear?
They fade away, you answer.
But I argue they turn to waves...
'Roses' unfolded, absolutely the same pattern
The left photo is the container, when you look inside it (normal view)
On the right when you turn it up side down, then it looks more like a star.

There is a phototutorial.
These are 2 modifications of the 'magic ball' origami corrugation
attributed to Shuzo Fujimoto and Sing Keund Ng.
If you remember the original corrugation, it won't lie flat triangles up (flic.kr/p/bYXH9b)
These one have modified pattern and they're quite flat. At least the right one. The left one tends to have more curvature...
There's an infinite class of such modifications, I'll publish more info later.
Left α = 45˚, β = 15˚
Right α = 45˚, β = 27.5˚
both α and β may be changed.
The 'magic ball tessellation' has α = 45˚, β = 45˚
This model is derived from my Radioactive Tessellation by adding a triangular frame around the radioactivity symbol. This change also makes it possible to shape the symbol within the frame better. Due to the much higher complexity, I only folded a single molecule so far.
