Modular Origami Polyhedra
When I just started doing modular origami, I was mostly attracted to floral designs, all sort of curls, petals and frills. And I still love all that, but somewhere along the way I developed an interest in more straight geometrical models too – polyhedrons of all kinds and shapes.
And when I think of origami polyhedrons, two books in particular come to mind – Unit Origami Essence and Unit Origami Wonderland by Tomoko Fuse. I have already folded plenty of models from the first book, but only now I started to study the second one. These are models I found there and I’m surely going to fold something else from this book soon!

These are really beautiful, Maria. Congratulations. Is the Icosahedron from page 42 of the book?
Thank you! It’s from page 90, I’ll add this information to the post.
I really want to create this, but I don’t have the book. Is there any other online tutorial?
Thanks!
Where did you buy this book? I am looking for it everywhere — Google, my college’s library, Japanese Amazon… It seems to have disappeared from existence.
Hm… indeed, maybe it’s out of print now?
But check out this store, the book is currently available here:
