These two pieces are made from the same modified waterbomb base units - one has 12 units and the other has 6. This demonstrates one of the wonderful things about modular origami - i.e., the fact that, quite frequently, the same units can be assembled into many different configurations by varying the number of units used.
The units here are simple to make if you are already familiar with the waterbomb base. To "modify" it to make the final unit, you need to orient the piece with the pointy right-angle corner upward, then figure out how to invert the point, kind of like if you put your finger on top of a mountain peak and pushed it straight downward to form a crater. Making pre-creases to create the "edge" of the crater can help a lot.
I don't have any guidance on where to find instructions for this one, unfortunately. I learned it myself via oral instructions from attendees at the local origami club monthly meeting.
I love living in a city with a local origami club, by the way.
