This is an octagonal star 6-unit assembly. It takes the shape of a truncated cube. (A cube with the corners cut off.)

I used: Unit Origami by Tomoko Fuse.
This is a rhombic cubeoctahedron trichromatic forty-eight unit assembly. (Try saying that ten times fast.)

I used: Unit Origami by Tomoko Fuse.


In the middle is an octagonal star and the ring around it is made of jackstones (a very difficult model to fold). These were all made of opalescent paper.

I used: New Adventures In Origami by Robert Harbin, And Unit Origami by Tomoko Fuse.

On the left is a stellated, stellated hexahedron (cube). I made this by first folding the blue cube. Then I added the silver sections to the orange pieces. These were then added to the blue cube faces. It took a long time to make the whole thing, but I think it looks pretty good. In the middle is a Christmas decoration. And on the right is a simplified version of the stellated, stellated cube.(left)
