HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017!!!
The completed holiday holographic paper project, ten months and 1170 units later.
The other three were a piece of cake, but it took way too long to make the shiny one.

For this box there are lots of embellishments diagrammed in the book.
Unfortunately the paper got white creases which are visible on the heart.
Folding sequence and assembly are fun and the box is very stable - a fusesque Model ☺
Paper: Hexagons from 5, 10, 20 cm Glassine

After I folded this and changed the inlay to look like the outer star, it was obvious that this process may be repeated. So I grabbed a larger, darker sheet of Glassine and made a third layer. Here each layer is half (or double ;-)) the size of the next.

As there are six colours in Peter's paper package, cube are a somewhat obvious idea to be folded. So I flipped through some of my books and refolded some cubes. Some? Six!
It was fun to see the different sizes of the final cubes, back row are all from 12 pieces, front row from 6. Tomoko Fuse seems to be most efficient: hers are largest.
You don't have to fold a whole field. You can play with this pattern ;-)) There so many possibilities, see here a few of mine ;-))

Paper: 5cm "Camomile" by Peter Keller
Modules: 6
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Origami de tsukuru p. 70-2
Could also be done with 7 modules.
I did six because there are six colours in Peter's wonderful paper packages. It's a thin paper, therefore suitable for modulars with a small paper size.
And I don't have to search through my various paper pack to find matching colours :-) As you can see in many of my modulars I prefer these kind of monochromatic colour variations.
In other Kami packages colours most often do not really match, especially for 5cm packages where there is not much variety anyways.
Peters packages are a great exception!
I joined Origami USA earlier this year. They have sent letters to all members containing a diagram for a mascot monkey, donated by Tomoko Fuse, and a sheet of 15 cm Harmony paper. The task was to fold the monkey and return it to OUSA in New York to be given as an annual holiday gift to visitors who go to see the tree being switched on. I'm not a very good folder, but after a couple of practices, I made 3 which I have now posted to the USA. I hope they are acceptable enough to be given out!

Had in my mind some days to fold a Sprial or Helix with a colour gradient. So one more two-layered Helix again. Was fun folding and the colour gave me a some orientation how much I've done already ("almost half folded, I'm already at burned Siena"). The colour made the paper quite sticky, perhaps because I used some glaze medium to dilute the golden paint for glazing.
This is a origami Noh mask is called: 'Namanari'. She is vengeful lady of the full moon, a less mature form of Han-nya.
Folded from gold-red kraftpaper (size 30x30cm,) which I crumpled and crinkled to get the structure. Finished the folding I used MC, otherwise it was to weak to maintain it's form. The height of the mask (with the horns) is about 15 cm.
Tomoko Fuse created origami masks representing various types of the Japanese theater. You can find the diagrams in her book "The Masks".
In the style of Masaru Hashimoto, Akira Nagashima, Jun Maekawa, Tomoko Fuse and Johannes Kepler.
An immensely frustrating model to photograph -- no matter what angle you approach it from, the camera wants to normalize it, make it round and somehow regular.
From a rectangle of silver kraft paper.
Inspired by hexagonal box with decoration by Jorge Jaramillo & Tomoko Fuse.
Technically similar to these.
Paper: 10 cm and 15 cm Glassine

Transparent paper is very nice for this model. The leaf is made from the same technique as the spirals and shells in the same chapter. Nice twist when at the end of folding suddenly the butterfly emerges :-)
I included that photo even though the colours are not too good and I like the other one better, because it shows the folds more clearly.

I finished gluing in the last unit on the evening of September 23rd, bringing this particular project to a close. And while I am satisfied with the end result, I must confess to you that I am also glad to be rid of this thing.
Why? Because of all the toothpicks. I will explain.
I had decided from the very beginning to make this polyhedron using Tomoko Fuse's Type II/Alternative Fix Sonobe modules. Like all the rest of the modules in Fuse's Floral Origami Globes book, each "Alternate Fix II" module is made from two distinct parts: a "base" and a "face." The base, which is usually simpler to fold, provides the "Sonobe framework" (if you can call it that) for the module, while the face, which locks snugly into the base, provides the module's decorations and embellishments. For added effect, the base and the face are usually made from different colors or kinds of paper.
I had some holographic paper lying around due to my tendency to save hoard it for special occasions, and I was sure that I wanted to somehow work them into this design. In choosing whether I would fold this paper into bases or faces, I assumed that the bases, being "bigger," would expose more of their surface area to the outside. That meant more shiny, so bases it was!
I only belatedly realized, after having folded hundreds of green, yellow, and orange faces, that turning the holographic paper into bases made the finished units nearly impossible to glue. Note I said nearly. The straightforward gluing technique (put a tiny dot of glue on the back of the flap, spread it around the incoming pocket, insert all the way in, and pinch really hard to set the glue) would not work because glue can't stick smooth surfaces together, but since adjacent units' faces partially overlapped, I could get the faces to attach to one another by sliding a tiny sliver of glue between the faces.
So that's what I did 660 times, applying each sliver of glue with a toothpick. It was admittedly mind-numbing and sloppy work. Every day, I would need a new paper towel to wipe excess glue off of the holographic paper before it dried and blemished the outer surface. Units often slipped out if I missed a spot with my sliver of glue, and some units simply could not be inserted well no matter how hard I tried.
In short, this model that you see is tenuously held together by the colored paper only. None of the holographic paper is actually glued to anything. I think it was a mistake to use ungluable paper for the bases, and there are fewer origami projects that I've been less motivated to continue picking up. In the future, I'll restrict the use of fancy paper to the faces of these units only!

Newly bought paper, crumpled look, very beautiful. The crumples withstand folding even with a bone folder very well, but obviously it's more one the soft side. If the paper has structure I prefer models with a geometric plainer look like modulars by Tomoko.
Reverse-engineered from this picture.
Not exactly the same, but close enough for my taste.

Was a bit hard to close, at least with this not so large paper.

A few years back this tessellation was the subject of a workshop I gave and I'm learning it to a few friends of mine this week ;-)). It is interesting, because Tomoko Fuse uses different divisions of the paper and that gives different result.
These 4 little "whirlpools" are folded from 15x15 cm.
In the upper row the same pattern but using different paper and the right one is not totally squased.
In the lower row the left one has a devision in fifth and the right one in fourth.
Result size left 6x6cm, result size left 7,6x7,6 cm.

A nice model, but the paper was too thick to finish the spiral nicely (or too small as you wish 😉)
