"Have you heard the good news...? Spring has arrives in this part of the world....so cheer up, my dearest. Winterwonderland will just be a memory of a cold dream."
Happy Sliders Sunday ;-))
I always see faces in the world around me, I can't help it ;-D
While assembling this polyhedron "Star Prints", created by Aldo Marcell, I saw this face with a big surprise in the eyes and mouth, so I tried to translate that into a photo. To my big surprise the shiny surface created another distorted face, magical ;-)
So the 'Star' is looking at himself and wonders "Is that really me?"
Here you can see a different view.
Origami "Star Prints" is related to another origami dodecahedron I folded earlier: "Oleo", (also created by Aldo Marcell), which is an "easier" version, just a few creases less.
Folded from 30 pieces of double colored kami paper (7,5x7,5 cm).
No glue.
Tutorial can be found here.

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. ;-))

This lovely design is from Miyuki Kawamura. When you turn them, you will have a different view.
The name origami "Dualo" came from the polyhedron of the center of the model. Here you can see two modules.
You can make several variations with this nice module:
-The little ones are made from 6 modules each.
-The middle ones made from 12 modules each and you can choose for a 3 or 4 unit of modules, which gives different results.
-For the bigger ones you need 30 modules each and also here the choice is 3 or 5 unit.
I used these 60 modules also for an other pattern.
Each module is folded from 7,5x7,5 cm, duo-colered paper.
Diagrams can be found in the Tanteidan 16th Convention Book
An abstract kind of origami Tulip (on the right), folded from one piece of double colored paper (red/green). One could easily see little flower child raising its hands full of joy and surprise for the circle formed by the other 'kids' ;-))
Model: origami Tulip and Tulip bouquet
Design: Noriko Nagata
Diagrams in NOA magazine #451
Paper:
Double colored paper 15x15cm
Final size Tulip: height about 7cm
Do you remember my photo 'A work in progress' ?
Well, I finally finished the basic pattern. It is a very large extension of this origami-tessellation, called 'Start'.
It is the first time I ever folded such a large grid!
Now the fun part begins, adding the final pattern by altering the magical hexagons ;-))
Folded from a hexagon 43cm, grid 1:128, 'Anett'-paper.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
This lovely origami model is called "Rain Star" or in Spanish "Estrella de la Lluvia", because when it was created by Aldo Marcell it was raining ;-)
I wanted to see what the difference is when I changed the color, so that's why you see 2 variations, I like them both....which one has your preference?
I put them on a mirror so you can see at the same time the other site.
Model: Origami Rain Star / Origami Estrella de la Lluvia
Designer: Aldo Marcell
Paper: 30 pieces of rectangle kamipaper 1:3 (2,5x7,5cm)
Final height: 8cm
There is a video tutorial by Evan Zodl, if you want to fold it too ;-)
A big smile for you from this last 'Halloween skull' ;-))
I wanted to make a photo of the origami heat and decoration, so I put it on a hand-painted paper. Then I say this skull with her big smile. I processed this photo so you only see the skull wearing the hat. It may look 3D, but is it flat.
Happy Smile on Sunday and Happy Slider Sunday !
Model: origami Hat and Spanish flower

This red origami Santa is a model from Akira Yoshizawa. On could think he is still in disguise because he is on his way early in the morning.......;-))
Model: origami Santa
Design: Akira Yoshizawa
Diagrams in the book 'Simple Origami' by Akira Yoshizawa
Paper:
-santa : one piece of kamipaper 15x15cm
- sack: one piece of kamipaper 7,5x7,5cm
In the base shape (see first comment box second photo), you then create a repeating tesselation-like pattern to form the shield.
It's pretty labor-intensive to fold, but the bulk of this Ankylosaurus is made up of the carapace. In this process, the head and tail are also formed.
The diptych above shows the top view on the left and the bottom view on the right.
Model: origami Ankylosaurus

Sometimes it happens that during the folding process a figure or shape is created, that is very beautiful in itself.
Like during the folding of the model 'Clown Box'. Suddenly there was this Little Queen and she could also stand on her own two feet, so to speak ;-)) You could stop then and start folding again from the start, which I didn't, just made this photo and continued folding.
I forgot to measure her height…..(I guess about 30cm, as I started with one 50x50cm double colored Kraft wrapping paper.
I will show you the end result tomorrow.
Have a happy start of your weekend ;-))

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.

Con el trabajo que me ha costado, ya me perdonaréis que ponga dos fotos.
I'll wait until Natalia finds a name for it and then I'll update the caption.
Reverse engineered from this picture.
Folded from a hexagon cut off of a 20 cm on the side square of colored copy paper.

This is an upgrade from my old Griffin design
I changed the distribution and added as much detail as I could on the feathered area
Hope you like it =D

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