This model is visually similar to [Evan's](https://www.ezorigami.com/users/ezorigami?page=1) - [Whirlpool](https://www.ezorigami.com/designs/whirlpool-e27b) design, but it has six points instead of eight.  This is a three-stage rendition, with each stage locking firmly to the last.  In theory, you can fold infinite stages, but it depends of the quality of your paper, and the accuracy of your folding!

It's folded from 18 squares of silver/burgundy duo kraft paper.  Paper for the largest stage measures 145mm (≈6"), and paper for the third stage measures one third that of the largest stage, 48.33mm (≈2"). The overall model measures 145mm across its width and approximately 170mm at its longest diameter.

I was inspired to fold this pixel art, after seeing this same design folded by Margaret Tsui.  The overall design measures approximately 30cm (12") square, and is comprised of 576 individual pixel units, folded from 3:4 rectangles, each measuring 3.75cm (1.5") x 5cm (2").

The following number of each colour were used:

- 194 x Sky Blue
- 137 x Green
- 119 x Brown
- 44 x Red
- 39 x Beige
- 34 x Blue
- 7 x Black
- 2 x Yellow

I used Toyo branded kami for this design, as it comes in a huge array of colours, though it's worth noting that darker colours sometimes transfer to lighter pixels during assembly.  To avoid this, I found that inserting a plastic collar stiffener, helped to provide protection to the surface of the pixel being connected to, whilst locking the units together.

Pixel units hold together extremely well, and the final piece is very robust.  The outermost pixels are slightly modified, to give a clean edge.

This is one of my proud works using the EZ tessellation technique. In this work, I used a rather thick piece of paper (~150 gsm if correct). The good side is that I could make creases firmly. The bad thing about this is that it was quite tiring to make all the folds when dealing with thick paper.

If you want to attempt something at this scale, be prepared as it is nothing less than an extreme sport for your hands and arms... Also, get a space for storing your work after completion too.

I learnt how to fold this star during one of Evan's classes at the Origami Deutschland 2026 Convention in Bonn.  This model is folded from 8 squares of silver/gold duo kraft paper, each measuring 9cm (3.5"). The completed star measures approximately 12.7cm (5") at its widest point.  I like the silver/gold paper, but it highlights inaccuracies in my folding, so maybe it's best folded from non-metallic colours?

Here’s my latest modular flower design! 🌺

Designed and folded May 2026 from six 3” (7.5cm) squares of back-coated mulberry paper. This model was a result of doodling during CFC6. It can be folded from 5 or 6 units and the units are extremely simple to fold. Assembly is tricky and requires small clothespins, but it is very sturdy on its own once all units are assembled.

I’ll post more variations of this flower soon. I can’t decide which I like the best. Naming suggestions are welcome as well. Let me know what you think! 😊
