Today marks the 101st anniversary of Akira Yoshizawa's birthday. In his honor, Google launched a worldwide origami doodle, featuring a butterfly designed by Akira Yoshizawa - and a Google doodle designed and folded by Robert J. Lang.

Seeing that the crease patterns were posted for this, I simply had to give it a go. This really is just a test fold, I'll have to start looking for suitably colored paper now. :)

Star Helena (Carmen Sprung): Instructions

Paper: octagon from a 22cm square, paper-backed foil
Model: diameter of approx. 9cm

"Stern Helena" can be used as a wrapper for flat, circular shapes - such a CD or DVD. The model easily opens and closes to reveal and again hide the CD. With lots of people burning DVDs etc nowadays this is just about perfect for giving these away as a gift - especially when thinking about Christmas.
Altogether: Ingenious!
