This one is called XYZ Squares, which is a bit of a head scratcher, because the planes are rectangular. Hmmm.This piece is relatively quick to make since only 6 units are required. It's super easy to get the first 4 units assembled; getting the last two is frustratingly difficult. Instructions for this piece can be found at:

This piece was invented by Francis Ow of Singapore. (He also invented the XYZ Diamonds of the previous post.) Mr. Ow has a lovely website which is definitely worth a visit, especially if you want to see the amazing number of ways you can fold origami hearts.

Finally, I must say I love Mr. Ow's motto: "Peace and harmony through origami." Can't beat that.
I also love Mr. Ow's name. That is a statement right there. I think I should change my name to Michelle Ow. Or, even better, what about Michelle Ooo?
ReplyDeleteSorry...tangent.
Yes, Ow is an EXCELLENT last name. Just think - Mia Ow! Meeee-Ow! There's so much fun that could be had there...
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love tangents.
