Hi. I’ve recently discovered your website and have found your models to be quite stunning. I’ve folded a few for myself and found them quite satisfying. Your models have also bettered my “CP solving” skills, along with some of your sequenced CPs. I would just like to say that your models, effort, and creativity, is greatly appreciated.

P.S.
I’ve also seen you on flickr alot and enjoy you on there too. It is through artists like you, Daniel Kwan, and Eric Gjerde, that I have discovered that I have a knack for creating geometric models rather than models from nature. I always felt that there was something wrong with being able to geometrically design something and not design an animal or something. You’ve helped me to see the error in my thinking. Once again, thank you for your help.

one thing that does make it a little easier is to imagine red lines where there are currently grey lines ajoining the tips of the centre star (to make a slightly smaller pentagon inside the red pentagon that is already there.

Or is this giving away too many of your secrets??

Hi, Kenia, thanks for coming by. There are no picture directions, I’m afraid. But if you start with a decagon — there are directions for that, linked above — and then follow the prose instructions, while looking at the crease pattern, I think you’ll see how it works.

Before I could even ask you where you got stuck! Excellent, it was probably more satisfying to puzzle it out.
