Mélisande folds Jane’s Flor (flower) model, using some of the wonderful precreased paper she received as a gift.

I like this model for many reasons, but the best reason is the various underlying geometries- when you look at it in different ways, it takes on different kinds of shapes.

I really like the levels of shading and play of color on this- it seems so very complex and many-layered!

the 3d triangle polyhedra pleat-intersection really goes a long way to heightening the depth and light-play of this piece.

here are the other photos of this work, too:
