Origami Creations - Bucky Ball Kusudama

Another cool and easy modular is the Bucky Ball using PHiZZ units.  

PHiZZ stands for pentagon-hexagon zig-zag unit and was created by the famous american math professor and origamist Thomas Hull.

Simple yet beautiful

With the PHiZZ units, you can actually create different geometrical shapes and sizes.  A lot of information is available on the web ... check them out.

And for those who are so anxious to try this modular, here is the video tutorial.  

Happy folding!

Origami Creations - Rectangulum Modular

I haven't done any geometric modulars for a long while now so when I happen to see the amazing Rectangulum (magic rings) model by Thoki Yenn, I have decided that this should be my next project.

Cool symmetry and perfect locking

It is actually an easy modular using six (6) units only.  Close attention to the pre-creasing is important to ensure that all the parts will fit perfectly.

You may find more details here.  Below is also a video tutorial for your convenience.

Enjoy!

Origami Creations - Basic Sonobe Cube

In the origami world of modulars, one can not avoid to encounter the so called "Sonobe unit" which is used to make other geometrical shapes and forms.  the unit was designed by Mr. Sonobe Mitsunobu.

Here is my sonobe cube using 6 units, not cuts and no gluing.

Simple and Sturdy Cube

It's a very simple yet beautiful piece and you can experiment with colors for a livelier look. 

Details of the diagram is found here.  And I am posting it below for everyone's convenience.

The unit:

Step One:	Step Two:	Step Three:	Step Four:
Step Five:	Steps Six and Seven:		The completed Unit: (x6)

Origami Creations - Modular Cubes

I have been so enamored with modular cubes lately ... the ones with the lesser number of units.  I have seen 1, 2, 3 and 4 but the ones with a variety of designs are the 6 unit cubes.  The 12 unit designs is even more awesome but I wouldn't want to fold so much paper for a cube, unless it is really temptingly beautiful.

Here is what I have done so far using 7.5 cm square kami paper.  It saves me a lot of paper to produce cuteness.

Modular cubes from the Simple to Amazing

Like my fondness for origami dogs ... now I will do a series of modular cubes for all.

Have a great weekend!
