"Square tessellation of dodecagons #2" (extended version, detail)
design: Alessandro Beber, Jun. 2012
Folded: 2017
paper: one uncut 60 cm square of glassine paper
instructions (CP): "Fold, Twist, Repeat" (Alessandro Beber, CDO, 2013)
This model uses an improved version of my Broken Heart Molecule. I call this version simply Heart Tessellaton / Molecule. Improvements include: better proportions, not only the molecule but also its crease pattern being square, and a convenient grid size: the heart itself uses a 14×14 grid, so a 16×16 grid results in the heart surrounded by one grid unit of margin. By adding another 8 grid units for the frame, we end up with a 24×24 grid for the framed heart. This molecule can also be tessellated.
I went crazy with Iimoris again ^-^ All out of the beautiful paper by Julia
Schönhuber. This one is Winter Galaxy purple.
Folded around 6070 till today and I decided to upload them...
once a day.
There are four five different outer shape...
- Iimori Flower
- Iimori Star
- Iimori Astra
- Iimori Anthos
- Iimori Mika
...and 8 different center parts I like to use (A-F, I, M)
A Camelia Center
B Simple Flower
C Double Flower
D Diagonal Star
E Snowflake
F Fun (3D)
I Snowflake Inverse
M Mieko
There are many more variations, but these are my favorites.
Same symmetry like here (flic.kr/p/E7Lr7e), but different curve. All the other features are
the same: it's playable, collapsible and funny.
1 sheet of tant paper
This origami box represents a flower of the genus Houstonia, also known as bluets or Quaker Ladies. Some species, in particular Houstonia caerulea have four petals which is relatively rare among flowers. However, it is very convenient for the origamist who wants to fold from a square.
The flower can also be tessellated, with each molecule taking up a 12×12 grid. After designing it, I found a similar model by Ilan Garibi, called Criss Cross Tessellation, but as you see, in my model the center of the flower is locked together while in Ilan’s, both ends of each petal are free.
Four mice from one sheet of 20 x 20 cm kraft paper.
I folded the base for one mouse from the corner of a sheet for the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and did a variation to have mice on all sheets!
Another approach to the subject of Maltese Cross. The molecule can be tessellated or used on a box as in this picture. This design uses my Flagstone Paneling technique in order to achieve a completely clean space around the molecule.
The fourth and last dream for now ^-^
Around 30cm x 40cm,
one sheet of #Awagami Hosho Select (Editioning Paper) and one sheet of John Gerards #Handmade #paper in off white.

On a suggestion from Anna Alekseeva, I tackled the 14th stellation next (again by Wenninger's count). This shape is a bit different than the last 3 in that the central icosahedron is missing.
The way I chose to represent this shape resulted in gap stripes along the outer surfaces in kind of a spiral-like pattern. The inner surfaces however are solid.
Scale-wise, this model is the largest of the set. Folding from 6" kami resulted in a model 9" in diameter. I'm already out of display shelf-space as it is!
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.
Origami bulldog designed by Quentin Trollip and folded by me. Uncut 40 cm square craft watercolorpaper

Every year Origami Usa send diagrams and a sheet of paper to its members, to fold the annual gift, which is distributed to visitors at the lighting ceremony of their Oriigami Holiday Tree This year the model is the mascot monkey by Tomoko Fuse , which is a nice design.
Excalibur, the sword in the stone, from Arthurian legends. Origami folded from one sheet (Elephant Hide paper courtesy of Paula Versnick). Also compare my Two Swords model (flic.kr/p/2gSwHQr) which uses the same molecule, though with different shaping.

Making a tessellation representing boats on the sea had been on my mind for quite some time when I finally came up with this design. It represents not just any boat, but the origami paper boat, a simple model which probably almost everyone has folded as a child. Perhaps we should introduce the term meta-origami for origami which represents other origami? Here, the molecule is placed on a box, but it can also be tessellated. You can find instructions in the 2019 Outdoor Origami Meeting convention book.
A nautilus has been on my list to redesign for several years now. I finally came up with a color-change design that I am satisfied with.
Designed and folded by Charles Wilson.

Just playing with size A, surely someone designed one of these before me
A modification (variant B) of Star Ananke. The basic variant (A) was designed independently by myself and by others before me: Wei Fu, and Robin Glynn (with minor differences).
Designed and folded by me.
Medium: 40x40 single tissue paper. Eyes are color changed.
This is one of the first insect designs in a while - nice change of pace.
What wasn't nice however was my paper choice and the photography process.
But enjoy the floofy moth I guess.
Some light relief on a hot day. I am guessing from the style this is by Yamada Katsuhisa. Does anyone know for sure? I found the pattern in a Japanese magazine and I can't read the name of the author.
Some years ago Andrew Hudson posted a photo of Hajime Komiya's Dahlia fractalized - with another smaller dahlia in the middle. I tried back then and I tried again last year. It's interesting to see how much it changed - how I approached it differently with some more years of folding in my fingers now and back then :) I found some way how to fold the fractal dahlia in the end, but more importantly I also discovered some new models on the way, and this is the best of them, I think. Folded from 1 dodecagon.
A close-up view of Two-in-One Flower Tessellation (my design — model description at flic.kr/p/Kb2dWr) folded from John Gerard's handmade paper (abaca with cotton). This view from the side shows how the molecules pop up from the tessellation's plane.

Reference: Lang's polypolyhedron #30
I'm not very satisfied by the single color, maybe I'll refold it with the same colors of the 12 stars
Byriah Loper already tried to render this polypolyhedron, it seems to me that his units look different from mine
Two-in-One Flower Tessellation (model description at flic.kr/p/Kb2dWr) folded from John Gerard's handmade paper (abaca with cotton). Even though there is only one kind of molecule in this model, depending on which point you treat as the flower's center, you can see two different kinds of flowers in the pattern.
This view highlights the uneven border of this sheet, typical for handmade papers. Such a border gives the folded tessellation a distinctive look (in the case of most figurative models, large parts of the paper edge would be hidden). At the same time, it poses a challenge since the edge can not be used as a reference when folding the model. This is not a big issue if you fold the whole grid, but for folding a clean grid-based model without precreasing unnecessarily visible creases, not being able to use the edge when constructing the precrease can make matters much more difficult.
Interest simple structure)) perfect for combining with any pleating techniques... any forms, proportions etc.

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!
This is one of the easiest models from the latest book. I add easy models to the beginning as a starter ;)
5 units, no glue, 1:√2 paper rectangles.
More about the book: detailed table of contents and the sample pages.
Sorry about the huge wait for a new model from me... turns out a pandemic isn't the best thing for my creativity.
My first model in too long is a crewmate from Among Us. I tried to make the model both as accurate to the character's design and as easy to fold as possible (it's just a fish base and the hardest moves in the whole thing are a couple of open sinks). The model also stands quite well on it's own, which isn't always a given for two-legged origami models.
