Rose de Sahara by Miyuki Kawamura

Another model by Miyuki Kawamura. Very easy and it's joined without glue. I mean absolutely without glue! The flaps are big enough and the pockets hold the flaps really good.

30 units, paper size 7,5*7,5 cm

Twin boat by Tomoko Fuse

I found this model in Tanteidan Magazine 107. First I thought it was a Miyuki Kawamura's model. But was too easy to fold (that actually it's not a problem in Kawamura's models) and great to assemble (really strange for this author) that I started wondering about my new born inmunity for Kawamura's models!. Then comparing my model with the author's I noticed the real creator was Tomoko Fuse. Oops! A very nice polyhedron tough, highly recommended!

For this one I used origami paper size 5*5 cm, it's about 5 cm in diameter.

I didn't know what to do with such a small thing (the first one), so I put it inside a Bila de la japonezi. A little bit fun, right?
