Folding tips

• Step 22: bisect the two 22.5 degree angles. The same goes for the angle running from the left part of the center triangle.
• Step 25: fold the blue valley fold and the rightmost red mountain fold (to the third line from the bottom right); then, fold the leftmost red mountainfold; then collapse the model as seen in step 26, and squash. This will generate the topmost red mountain fold as shown in step 25.
• Step 26: this sink is more easily done from the other side of the model. Note that it should not go though to the tip (dot in red).
• Step 27, 28 and 29: this is the same fold as before, but now with the sink fold included. Step 28 is the intermediate, three-dimentional step; step 29 is the final result.
• Step 31: the bottom left arrow signifies what will be done in step 32 for this point.

The steps after these are sometimes confusing and hard to follow. However, not all folds have to perfect, as much can be sculpted at the end.

Spines are easily added by reverse-folding the sides of the pleats from step 104 – 106, during step 113.

Paper & size

When folded from a 49cm square, the model ends up about 22cm wide, 19cm in height and 11cm deep (much depending on how it is sculpted).

For shaping, glue and filling is recommended and virtually required, as the model won’t keep shape very well unless folding with a paper that keeps shape (e.g. foil).

Sculpting might take another few hours.
