Origami With Adi

  Florita Kusudama (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare) History This is another design that I got by randomly folding paper. Originally the design was not supposed to look so elaborate, but since the internal angle was too large to make an icosahedron, I had to reduce it with some extra folds. I didn't mind though, since it ended up looking cooler anyway. I called it Florita because the final product has little flowers on every vertice. The final product used 30 sheets of square Tuttle paper, with a different color on the back. Overall it's very sturdy and can withstand being tossed around. Disclaimer: the size of the paper that can be used isn't limited to the sizes I used! As long as the paper is square, it will work. Just make sure to choose a paper size that you are comfortable folding with!

Spiderman Kusudama (Designed by Aditya Kumbhare)   History Here is another design I made with tuttle paper. For this Kusudama, I didn't use any pre-existing module as a basis.  I created this module by accident during a car ride. I was folding a sticky note out of boredom and I came across a shape that could possibly work as a module. Folding that shape with tuttle paper created a checkerboard-patterned piece, but when I tried to put three pieces together, I realized that the connection was too weak. An extra fold took care of that and also made the overall structure more spherical. I asked my parents for name suggestions and they stated the colors and pattern reminded them of Spiderman, so that's what I ended up naming it. The final product used 30 sheets of square Tuttle paper, with a different color on the back.  Disclaimer: the size of the paper that can be used isn't limited to the sizes I used!

Expand Kusudama (dimpled variation) folded by Aditya Kumbhare (Adi)  History I started making this kusudama in the car during a road trip based off of a design I saw online. The pieces take a small amount of time to make, and the final product turned out to be very big. So, I had the idea of pushing the tips in to make it smaller, essentially dimpling the Kusudama. I also folded the flaps down behind to strengthen the connection. Once I had put it together, I took a picture on the side of the road and took it apart for storage during the rest of the trip.  Disclaimer: the size of the paper that can be used isn't limited to the sizes I used!
