One last diagram for 2009... this is a Flexagon I designed last october during the Octagons for October challenge at the Origami Tessellations group. I was inspired by Yami Yamauchi's Fireworks modular, and set out to replicate the effect with a single sheet of paper.

The model in the video was wetfolded from 10" x 20" Canson Colorline paper, colored with various spraypaints. Diagrams are here.

I've posted a video of the flexagon in motion here.

And to bring things full circle, we'll end 2009 as we started it: with a new Snowflake CP from Jared. Happy New Year everyone!

Seasons Greetings!

Y’all have been begging me to make some more diagrams, so here ya go. These are definitely the nicest diagrams I’ve made so far. They came out so well it encourages me to make more diagrams! : )

For this week’s issue of Origami Weekly I have diagrammed my White Dove. It is designed to be folded from an isosceles right triangle (half a square) of white paper. This of course means that one square will give you two White Doves!
