Hexagonal Predictable Box

Hexagonal analogue of my Predictable Box. The layers of paper making up the thickness of the walls are on the outside, making it possible to control the dimensions of the space inside the box in a predictable manner.

Diesel-Electric Tessellation

A design I derived from my earlier Electric Tessellation. Folded from the same sheet as CFW 60 / Red Flower (that I will publish pictures of soon) since that design is one of the intermediate steps during folding.

Möbius Chain from Möbius Strip VII B

This #chain is composed of links which are each a #MöbiusStrip VII variant B and closed without any glue. All links were folded from strips cut from a single A4 sheet.

Hedgehog Star I

The first design in the Hedgehog Star family. The sharp rays look like the spikes of a hedgehog, and during folding, the incomplete star looks like a side view of the animal.

Apparently, my favorite origami paper, Tant, has a street named after it in London (Canning Town district) ;) I noticed it on a map during a recent trip and of course had to pay a visit.

This is a tessellated version of Shuzo Fujimoto’s star CFW 91. I’m not sure if he was aware of the possibility of making a tessellation out of it, but I find it likely.

Flapping Bird. This simple design is fun to fold, and the flapping action is often a “wow moment” for people folding it for the first time. Its origin remains dubious (www.origamiheaven.com/historyofthe...).
