Extreme Modularization


In modular origami, the project's beauty is revealed when the individual pieces are combined.  The unit's pattern is usually quite simple, allowing the folder to make many of them quickly, but the amount of units needed can vary from project to project.  Some projects require just a few units, while others require hundreds or even thousands.  The Modular Swan, for example, uses over 400 units!  These swans can vary from simple white, as seen in the left image, to complex rainbow patterns, as seen in the right image.  And you don't have to make just swans; these units can make dragons, peacocks, roosters -- the possibilities are endless!  It's like Lego for origami.
