Happy Sliders Sunday ;-))
“Daffodils are yellow trumpets of spring”.
Quote ― Richard L. Ratliff
For the 3d daffodils I used kamipaper. They are folded from a hexagon. The leaves are flat and folded from green copy paper, all different sizes. I had to glue them on a piece of paper, kind of 'painting' ;-))
Final size (only measuring the flowers ): height 25cm, width 26cm
Wishing everyone a joyful weekend ahead ;-))
Model: Origami Daffodils

I couldn't decide which version I would show you, so I made a diptych. Left you see this origami-tessellation "Geometry" in normal light and on the right backlit.
It is the other side of my tessellation 'New Eyes' and also the extended version of 'Face 2'.
Folded from a hexagon 33 cm, grid 1:64, 'Anett'-paper.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
I folded this origami Chrysanthemum Ball (Yasuko Suyama) as a present for my neighbor, who moved recently to an other house. I remembered that she liked this one, so I refolded it ;-)
On this photo two different side views, where you can see the joint element, created by Tomoko Fuse.
Here is the top view and you can see clearly the chrysanthemum.
It's nice one, but..... you need glue.
It is folded from 6 chrysanthemums, kamipaper 15x15cm and 8 joint elements kamipaper 7,5x15cm.

The beginning or 'Blueprint', my latest origami tessellation-project, now using the small irregular hexagon and the big regular hexagon.
If you want you can have a look at 'Autumn', where I used the small regular hexagon, to see the difference.
Here you see the big 'Blueprint' and the little one. I also made a night and day version, I like the different feel this contrast gives.
In the first row you see all the front sides and in the lower row you see the other front sides ;-))
Little 'Blueprint' is folded from a hexagon 15cm, rice paper, grid 1:24".
Big 'Blueprint' is folded from a hexagon 33cm, grid 1:64"

Regularly, you need to cut paper in the right size from a larger sheet of paper. And then there are always leftovers. This designer also thinks it's a shame to throw away this paper and came up with the above model "Maple Seed".
I folded two versions of it, the one with 6 units (he smallest) and the one with 12 units (the larger one). One can also fold the 30 unit version of it, but I don't have that much leftovers ;-))
Enjoy this Monochrome Thursday ;-)))

Size paper 1:3, in this case 5x15cm.
Final size: diameter little one about 9cm, bigger one about 13cm
I can change my origami-tessellations literally, by folding but also with PS ;-))
Just experimenting and having fun. Hope you like this snows-face ;-))

Also in origami-land we have several origami Santa's ;-)) This is the Santa-Pajarita (Pajarita con gorro navideño), a lovely design by Juan Pedro Rubio.
This little bird is widely recognized as a symbol of papiroflexia (origami) throughout Spain.
Folded from a rectangle 35X17,5cm. Final size about 10,5cm.

El primer problema cuando se planteó hacer una Urraca en vuelo era la dificultad de los cambios de color. Tres cambios de color conseguidos después, queda claro que lo importante (e "imposible") es conseguir que la Urraca sea Urraca y no golondrina, Aguila ..
Se hizo lo q se pudo..esto ya es demasiado para mi. Paso el turno al experto :P
Nota: plegar bien y hacer una foto buena.. Ya sería demasiado :P
I saw a model like this at a friend's house and when I complimented her about it, she offered it for me to take it home and study it. I unfolded carefully and figured it out with some trial and error. I really like the center part which looks to me like a partially opened iris closure. I think Chris Palmer made a box with a decoration like that (this should be my next project).
EDIT: The friend who lent me the star contacted the guy who gave it to her and I updated the caption.

En esta figura he tratado de usar una base muy simple y centrarme más en modelar. El papel era algo grueso tal vez.

""A 'Shachihoko' (鯱鉾) or 'Shachi' (鯱) is an animal in Japanese folklore with the head of a tiger and the body of a carp.
It was believed that this animal could cause the rain to fall, and as such, temples and castles were often adorned with roof ornaments (shibi) crafted in the form of a shachihoko, in order to protect them from fire.
When pronounced 'shachi ', 鯱 also means orca."" - WiKi
Model: origami Shachihoko
