Geranium Kusudama

Geranium kusudama is yet another beautiful origami design by Tomoko Fuse; the diagram can be found in the latest issue of Origami Tanteidan Magazine.

There are two variations of this model, I only folded the “curled” one. The other version of this kusudama doesn’t have curls, but I think should be even easier to assemble.

Double-Locked Spiral Square Origami Box

This is an origami box by Tomoko Fuse I found in one of Tanteidan Origami Magazines. What I really like about this design is that both the lid and the bottom are supposed to be folded from the same size paper (15 cm squares in my case) and they fit together perfectly, because the lid comes out a bit bigger than the base. Nice!

Designer:	Tomoko Fuse
Units:	8 (4 for lid and 4 for bottom)
Paper ratio:	square
Assembled with:	no glue
Paper size:	15 cm
Model size:	~ 668 cm
Paper:	Kami, Ehimeshiko (Japan)

This 12-unit origami modular, Mozaic with Facets by Tomoko Fuse, is folded from half-squares and assembled without glue. I recommend using 3 different plain colors for this model and not too thin or soft paper because there are only two layers of paper overlap in the center of each facet.
I really enjoyed folding it! The diagram is published and can be found in Origami Tanteidan Magazine 125.
