The sheets are glued to assemble.

The Star of Yoshimoto Cube, designed by myself. Using 24 sheets of square paper.	Two Intersecting Cubes, designed by myself. Using 12 sheet of 1:2 paper and 24 sheets of square paper. This warps a bit, because I used a wrong angle in one type of units. I should make a right one some day...	Rested Cranes (Ikoi no Tsuru), designed by Tomoko Fuse. Her original work consists of four cranes resting on a Sonobe-type polyhedron. I arrange to make eight-crane version. The polyhedron is made of 12 sheets of square paper, and each crane is made of 1/4 sized paper.

Truncated Octahedron, designed by Miyuki Kawamura. Using 14 sheets of paper.	WXYZ (left), designed by Tung Ken Lam. Four regular triangles are intersected, each of which is made of three sheets of square paper. (Diagram is here.) Righthand is its circumscribed Cubeoctahedron, designed by Tomoko Fuse.

Icosahedral Skelton (left behind) and Dodecahedron (right), both designed by Miyuki Kawamura. Front is Hexagon Box, designed by Tomoko Fuse.	Electra, designed by David Mitchel. Using 30 sheets of square paper.	Daffodil, designed by Toshikazu Kawasaki. Using six sheets of square paper for a flower.

Kaleidocube, my original work. The usual kaleidocube is a kind of toy, that you can open to see 12 different pictures on a cube. See also here. This work is an application of the usual kaleidocube: if you open it, a cubeoctahedron appears.
