Mandala Monday – Origami Fireworks by Yami Yamauchi

Now I’ve got the origami fever (see my last 2 posts: Mandala Monday – Paper Toys: Flextangles and  Mandala Monday – Origami Magic Ball (Dragon’s Egg by Yuri Shumakov). It seems there are lots of 3D mandala like shapes you can make with paper. This week I’ve selected a video of Origami Fireworks designed by Yami Yamauchi and presented by Jo Nakashima.  You can find a diagram of it at: http://www.spitenet.com/origami//pdf/Fireworks.pdf.

Happy folding!

Mandala Monday – Origami Magic Ball (Dragon’s Egg by Yuri Shumakov)

Following the theme of last week’s post, Mandala Monday – Paper Toys: Flextangles, I’ve found a video on creating origami Magic Balls (or 3D mandalas). This Origami Magic Ball is designed by Yuri Shumakov. and was originally know as  the Dragon’s Egg.  Yuri’s website is  http://www.oriland.com. Printable patterns to use in creating the ball can be found at: http://goo.gl/En4Mp.

Have fun!
