Isn't this a beautiful snowflake model? And it's quite easy to fold, too.
Paper: hexagon from a 19.5cm square of transparent paper (side length: 9.75cm)
Model: diameter of 9.75cm
Deb, you are great! Yesterday I received a parcel with a selection of different papers, and a copy of Oru Volume #4.
Amongst the paper were some 15cm squares of "dreamy colour origami", which Deb suggested I use to fold a 5-stage hydrangea. She said I might be pleasantly surprised, and indeed I was! The colouring on the paper results in layers that have different colours.
Paper: 15cm square of kami
Model: 7.5cm by 7.5cm
Paper: 16.5cm square of tissue foil
Model: 4.25cm diameter, 4cm height
After having folded this model from transparent paper, I decided this model probably worked better with opaque paper. So here's my fold from elephant hide. I think the picture still doesn't quite show the stars off as nicely as I'd like, and it's not as apparent that in the back you have honeycomb-like dents. But I can say that it is more stunning when you hold it in your hands and look at it.
