It's really nice...

This model is REALLY nice..Nice Back-lit effect. Great job folding and I would love if you will make a tutorial of this.I hope that you will continue your folding of origami models. =D

P.s.:is this from a 16x16 triangle grid?

32 division grid

Glad you like it. :)
It's folded on a 32-division triangle grid.
As ti instructions - once you know hexagon twists and open-back triangle twists it's mostly an exercise of patience. ;)
