Been way too long since I was here

This an actual photograph, not a CGI construct. I did play a fair amount with color temp and cleaned up the background but its not a composite or what is classically referred to as ‘shopped’
It’s really stunning. Welcome back!!
Thank you, and its made of Paper, (vellum in this case) 30 Sheets folded into forms and assembled, then filled with battery operated christmas lights.
THe largest one I have constructed, made from 12×12 sheets.
Origami is one of my passions; I’d love the pattern if it’s something you’d care to share. I’m particularly fond of tessellations, and this strikes me as a very three dimensional one.
I don’t mind at all, I learned to make these back in high-school and I know i have seen it online. I will look up a link, but it does require square paper. Once you fold the basic form, its just a matter of assembling the pieces.
6 pieces makes a cube
12 makes a stellated Octahedron
30 makes the stellated Icosahedron above
I understand there is a form made form 90 pieces, but I haven’t attempted that.
This really strikes a nerve with me, I used to construct all manner of stellations out of paper, toothpicks, wire/solder, etc… This really made for a nice image!
Thank you.
If they weren’t so labor intensive I think they’d make a great christmas decoration.
