Radiant Star, designed by Madhura Gupta
This weekend, I’m at PCOC, the Pacific Coast OrigamiUSA Conference. The funny thing is, I picked this photo and scheduled the post ahead of time, but when I got to PCOC I found this exact model in the conference booklet! I swear it was a coincidence.
This model is made from four units, of successively smaller size. Each star is inserted into the hexagonal pocket of the next. I like it!
Nifty!
Ohh, that is a lovely model! I’d love to make that one sometime. By any chance do you know where I could find a diagram?
I have to say, I’m just a wee bit envious that you got to go to the PCOC. I’ve always wanted to go to one of these (or to OUSA), but money or time (and not paying attention to dates) has always been a barrier. *Sigh* Maybe in 2027 when it comes back around. I’d love to hear about any nifty models you learned about while you were there!
The diagrams can be found in the PCOC 2025 conference book. Maybe you could ask the designer nicely? Sorry that’s the best I got.
PCOC 2027 will be in Seattle.
Thanks! I wasn’t sure if it was available in a different book or online (outside of the PCOC conference book). No harm in trying to ask the designer, maybe I’ll do so. I should definitely put the next PCOC on my calendar since Seattle is a very manageable distance.
