“Snowflake” designed by Dáša Ševerová. Folded by Annalisa on a hexagon cut from a 20 cm square of glassine. Diagram by Dáša Ševerová is available here courtesy of OrigamiUSA.

Yes, this is another snowflake, but it was a snowy day and I discovered that OUSA had a bunch of really great diagrams available online, and they had this amazing snowflake design by Dáša Ševerová. How was I supposed to resist? And really, why should I? Who doesn’t need more fantastic snowflake designs in their life?

“Hydrangea Box” designed by Dáša Ševerová and Shuzo Fujimoto. Folded by Annalisa from two 30 cm squares of kraft paper (one for the box, one for the lid). Photo tutorial by Dáša Ševerová here, and video tutorial by Sara Adams here.

The reason for all my grappling with hydrangeas (as detailed here)! I love everything about this box. Using the hydrangea on top is very smart, since you can tessellate ad infinitum (paper permitting) and not change the rest of the box proportions. The color change is great, and the fact that Dáša Ševerová took the time to extend the ribbon to the box instead of just the lid takes the whole model above and beyond. It is just so lovely. Be prepared to see this one pop up again and again.
