one with alternating rotation directions.

are: folded from a thin sheet of dough and fried. It deformed a little during the frying process.
This model is folded in blue and yellow, the national colors of Ukraine. Three years into a terrible invasion by Russia, the people of Ukraine continue to
re...
This model was an interesting exercise in color-change design. I think some details could be more polished, but the overall impression isn’t bad, and the mod...
This star by Shuzo Fujimoto is only mentioned in textual form: there isn’t even a picture in Fujimoto’s books. It
consists of the molecule of Hemp Leaf (CFW ...
A simple star with color change. I derived it from Shuzo Fujimoto’s Star CFW 367
by folding from a hexagon rather than a triangle and opening up the back to ...
I developed Shuzo Fujimoto’s design, Petals (CFW 85) into a fractal.
I don’t have direct proof if Fujimoto was aware of this possibility, but I think it’s li...
I folded this traditional crane from a wax wrapper (Polish: woskowijka). These are sheets of fabric soaked

This translucent design by Shuzo Fujimoto would be called an iso-area tessellation in modern parlance since both sides
sport the same pattern (except for bei...
Another star by Shuzo Fujimoto which is not even depicted in his books, just mentioned in text. It uses rays from

December 13th, 2023, will mark the 130th anniversary of Stanisław Szukalski’s (1893-12-13 – 1987-05-19) birth. A brilliant
and controversial artist, Szukalsk...
A modification of my Sol, adding a color-change background to the tessellation molecule. The gold-blue Washi
looks in real life even better than in the pictu...
This design is derived from Star a la Fujimoto III. Central part is raised, and has a color change,
just as many kinds of real daffodil. In this fold I think...
This is just a single long Conveyor Belt Unit (CBU) wound into a coil, but it looks
like the Tower of Babel in Bruegel’s painting or the Guggenheim Museum.
This star, designed by Shuzo Fujimoto, has an unusual symmetry, and an interesting color change. Folded from
a small hexagon of Washi Deluxe, a duo-color, wr...
This is just a very simple tessellation on a hex grid. My first fold was indeed an improvisation, folded from a plain white sheet. This one is a refold in
wh...
This design by Shuzo Fujimoto represents a katniss flower (Japanese: おもだか,
omodaka, also known as arrowhead in English). It falls somewhere halfway between a...
In late 2016, I folded this traditional crane from an RFID chip
identical to the one on which the crane is sitting. The sheet was very small, so this experim...
After I designed this tessellation, I learned that Shuzo Fujimoto had designed the same thing about 40 years earlier.
This was the first time such independen...
A follow-up design to Hedgehog Star II from February. There is a color-change, but in this fold I used two
kinds of metallic paper, each same color on both s...
This variant of the Traditional Crane adds a color change along the axis of symmetry.
It’s a very simple change, based on blintzing, and I’m pretty certain I...
Another fold of Hedgehog Star II, once again in Ukrainian national colors since symbolizing Ukraine’s
resistance in the face of Russia’s aggression was the r...
This hexagonal box by Shuzo Fujimoto uses his typical technique for locking the bottom with folds that resemble an iris
diaphragm. He also devised similar de...
The steppes of Ukraine with their endless open spaces, occasionally lined by kurgans, have long been considered a place
full of mystery, mood, adventure, and...
This is a very simple and elegant traditional model: a ninja star you can actually throw quite well. With just two units it’s also one of the simplest
modula...
This Shiba Inu dog by Makoto Yamaguchi is an example of a figurative model
folded from two sheets, with one sheet being used for the head and tail and the ot...
The Golden Gate of Kyiv (Золоті ворота) was the main gate of the city in the early middle ages. Today the city is under
attack again.

This is a single molecule which can be tessellated. It is made from a molecule of Whirlwind Tessellation
placed inside a larger one. More than the two levels...
The Coat of Arms of Ukraine, called the Tryzub (Тризуб), Trident. This rendition in origami is simplified due to limitations of the
medium and time. The powe...
The Flag of Ukraine — a single fold on a square of yellow-blue duo color Kami paper.
This way of folding national flags consisting of two parallel stripes is...
I designed and folded this spiked origami star bearing Ukrainian national colors last Monday night, after Putin’s speech.
The design has a color-change, but...
In line with the distinction made in my post on naming origami models, this
design is called Brick Road while the particular work seen here is called Yellow ...
In contrast to my earlier trefoil knot from CLU unit, which used
a more elongated strip of paper and was shaped more like a clover, this trefoil knot
is fold...
A Möbius strip consisting of a single Conveyor Belt Unit (CBU)
twisted and locked with itself by both ends. This is the cleanest representation of a Möbius s...
A conveyor belt, made from Conveyor Belt Units (CBU). Instead of connecting the ends together,
one could also leave the model in the form of a flat tape, or ...
Another approach to designing an origami Python logo. This model is folded from two separate sheets, which allows the
snakes to be different colors and have ...
I designed this model for the cover illustration of my father’s book on nanoparticles. It represents
the structure of SBA-15, a type of mesoporous silica. My...
Ice cream, own design. This model can be folded from regular Kami, but I think it looks best when wet-folded from thick
watercolor paper. Here, one side of t...
The technique used for this hexagonal box can be used for other polygons as well, resulting in boxes with a different number of sides. However, the minimum
n...
A recent design of mine, this tessellation is relatively simple to fold, but the end result looks quite interesting. On the back side, I used
some modified t...
This tessellation is derived from Lucky Star Tessellation, but due to the different arrangement
of paper layers, this one can’t be fractalized. The outline o...
This model is a variant of the Lucky Star Fractal (aka Logarithmic Star), designed by myself and
independently by many others before me, starting with Shuzo ...
This model shows how the basic molecule of my Sunflower Tessellation can be modified in order to
rearrange the direction the individual “seeds” are pointing....
This is a model I will be teaching in just two weeks at a workshop during the 2018 CDO origami convention in Italy. The star can be used as a tessellation
mo...
It took me 1½ years before I decided to fold my Sunflower Tessellation once again, this time from
rare yellow Elephant Hide paper. I think this is a better ...
This is a variation of the traditional origami crane which I recently designed: there is a color change
giving the wings a different color than the body. I h...
I designed this model, based on my Simple Elephant, for the wedding of two origami friends, Marcin and Natalia.
Folded from a single 5:1 strip of red-gold Wa...

thic...
My goal when designing this box was reusing the strips of paper which are left over when a square is cut off from an A4 piece of paper. This strip also

A Greek meander pattern folded as modular origami. The bent frame technique is the “Thoki Yenn style” which I also employed in a number of other models,
for ...
Shuzo Fujimoto’s Hydrangea can be used as a modular unit. The method was first published by
Meenakshi Mukerji and then reinvented independently by myself. I ...
A color-change version of my Box with Pajarita v. 1.1. In contrast to
folds using harmony paper, here the different color of the Pajarita is the result of an...
This is a minimalistic version of my Sunflower Tessellation, folded from a 16×16 grid.
It consists of just a single molecule surrounded by petals, and thus c...
After I designed this corrugation, I learned that Ron Resch had already designed it in the 1960-s, over 50 years ago.
That’s a Golden Jubilee for this model....
The Möbius band (aka Möbius strip) is an interesting mathematical object, a single-sided surface. This origami version
is folded using my Cross Lap Unit (CLU...
This tessellation is a very simple variation of the standard square twist which results, nonetheless, in an interesting pattern. Each of the four corners

This is my second attempt at designing a Star of Bethlehem (which can also double as a regular comet). After designing it, I found online pictures of a
simil...
The molecule is 6×6 grid units, so normally 3×3 molecules would require an 18×18 grid. Since folding power-of-two grids is much more convenient than others,
