I had been dying to try this fold for ages. Today I finally got off my butt and gave it a shot. Man is it cool. Developed by Thoki Yen and published in Kunihiko Kasahara's book Extreme Origami; I folded this from a sheet of Canson charcoal paper. A twenty inch circle produced an eleven inch long model when the folds were spaced about a centimeter apart. This first one was a little rough, but with practice, I should get a coffee table worthy piece. There are two nice things about these models:
1. The shape and look can change depending on how you twist the model and lock the folds.
2. They are made of paper so when you are sick of them, you just toss them in the fireplace. (80 gsm paper makes a great firestarter)
