The 'origami ball' on the bottom left doesn't link to instructions. In case anyone wants to make it, you can google 'venus kusudama' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNwPzwtAme4 https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/heres-the-venus

I always wait for someone to post origami on Hacker News so that I can publicize my own work on origami: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article/7/2/200011/9...

It is possible to fold a cube from a single sheet. The cube on the page is made from several units. The method for folding a cube from a single sheet was independently invented by Kazou Haga, Kunihiko Kasahara, Jeannine Mosely, me, and probably some others as well. https://www.iwriteiam.nl/box-fold.html

It should probably be noted somewhere that this is more "papercraft" than "origami", and the thing you download is just the net of the solid, not instructions to make what's in the picture. Also saddened by the lack of Catalan solids

Modular origami construction of various mathematical solids was pioneered by Tomoko Fuse in the 1980s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomoko_Fuse https://www.amazon.com/stores/Tomoko-Fuse/author/B004L2C2A4/... The author is still creating new work and writing new books.
