We’re finally coming to the end of the Best Origami of 2018 posts!
This time we’re going to look at the best modular models. These are pretty much
all geometric shapes created from multiple sheets of paper folded into individual units and
assembled together. This also includes kusudamas.
You can vote for your favourite model at the end of this post. Voting
will be open for two weeks and close on October 25, 2019.
We’ll start off with a mind-blowing model from Byriah Loper. Byriah Loper is
pretty much the master of modular origami and it was pretty hard to narrow it down to a few models for this post.
This crazy creation is folded from 270 units!
Our first origami shark is this excellent design by Choi Ju-Young.
Next we have this beautiful soft looking rose kusudama.
Here’s another fantastic looking kusudama. I really like the curly shapes here.
Next we have a pretty unique and complex looking kusudama.
This next model is titled “Unfathomable” which sums it up pretty good.
Here we have something a bit simpler but I really like the shapes.
Since paper is so thin you can really get some cool.
I really like how this next model is a combination of a kusudama and tessellation.
Here’s another fantastic model from Byriah Loper this time.
This is another fantastic kudusama with really nice shapes and fall colours.
Tomoaki Yano has a very unique style when it comes to designing kusudamas.
This model is called “Incomprehensible” and it’s a pretty good companion.
Uschi Mitzkat has a pretty cool ability to make her kusudamas look like marbles.
I’m also a big fan of kusudama models that are open in the center like this one.
I really like the choice of paper used in this next kusudama.
Here’s another really excellent kusudama that uses curves.
