DIY Origami Ball Sonobe Style in Pastell: This year pastel colors are popular. For this reason, I again wanted to make a beautiful Sonobe post with pastel colors. As with my previous post here, you have to use 12 units for this ball. Here we go:
Modular Sonobe Origami Ball in blue, green, and yellow. Made from 270 sheets of 9cm x 9cm semi-stiff paper. There are 4 different shades of each base color (b, g, y). Each unit is handmade by me =) Diameter/Height - 9.5" (24.1cm) to 10.5" (26.6cm) Circumference - 31"(78.7cm) at narrowest to 34" (86.4cm) at widest Geometrically, this model is not a perfect sphere, but it is structured on a pattern of pentagons and hexagons (similar to that seen on a soccer ball). There is no glue or tape needed or used in the construction of this model. [If you are crazy (and kind) enough to want to buy this piece, please contact me. It can definitely be custom made in any colours or sizes.]
There have been numerous installments of Math Monday on origami or kirigami of one mathematical form or another, but today is the first time we've covered a classic workhorse from this genre: the Sonobe modular origami unit. One of the simplest and most versatile of the modular units, there's so much to say about Sonobe that today we're going to start from the basics (parallelogram one?) and next time we'll take it to places I hope you've never seen it go before.

Day 79 - Origami Tomoko Fuse Espiral Origami Tomoko fuse espiral is a modular origami model.It has 4 units.The modules are really simple to fold so is the model.This model is created by Tomoko Fuse and the design is found in her book Let's Fold Spirals.The book is in Japanese but the instructions are pretty much self explanatory It needs big square sheets of paper.They can be single side coloured or double side coloured.I would suggest to use big one side clouyred square papers and preferably the four units of different colour as it looks really good if the modules are of different colour. You can follow the video by Origamiancy This video is really easy to follow.It has the tutorial for both the units and the final assembly of the units to get the sprial. The actual fold in this model start while assembling and not in the units.It doesnot use glue to assemble the units rather it uses folding :) Here is my Espiral.

Das Leben und das Werk der japanischen Ausnahmekünstlerin Tomoko Fuse Die international berühmte Orimoto-Künstlerin Tomoko Fuse wurde im Jahr 1951 in Niigata in Japan geboren und ist Autorin zahlreicher Titel zum Thema Modulares Origami. Auf diesem Gebiet hat sie eine Vielzahl an Origami-Modellen entwickelt, darunter Boxen, Blüten (die sogenannten Kusudama), Papierspielzeug, Masken sowie geometrische Formen und Objekte. Ihre Bücher werden in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt. Heute lebt sie mit ihrem Mann Taro Toriumi, einem bekannten Blockdruck-Künstler, im ländlichen Gebiet der Präfektur Nagano. Dieses reich bebilderte Coffee-Table-Book zeigt ihre Geschichte und Ihre Werke. Detaillierte Faltanleitungen für ausgewählte Objekte ermöglichen es, nachzuvollziehen, wie die faszinierenden Kunstwerke der Japanerin entstehen, und diese sogar selbst nachzufalten. Über das Buch: "Dieses Meisterwerk von Tomoko Fuse zeigt die unglaubliche Schönheit, Kreativität und Tiefe ihres Werks anhand vielfacher Origami-Arten sowie die Bandbreite ihrer Karriere als Origami-Künstlerin auf." Robert J. Lang, amerikanischer Origami-Künstler, Berater und Autor zahlreicher Bücher zum Thema, darunter Origami Design Secrets "In den zahlreichen Verästelungen der komplexen Origami-Stile hat Tomoko Fuse eine beeindruckende Menge an Arbeiten von höchster Qualität produziert: Dieser großartige Sammelband zeigt sehr detailliert ihr Werk auf. Er unterstreicht ihren Status, nämlich nicht nur als eine führende Falterin, sondern als ausgezeichnete hochrangige Künstlerin." David Brill, britischer Origami-Künstler, Autor von "Brilliant Origami" und Vorsitzender der British Origami Society
