Origami snowstars, pic 1

Finally managed to come up with something for the rigami-United: holiday contest, though I'm not happy with this pic-- the cats kept walking in front of the camera and knocking the things over, and I think I need a non-white background for better contrast anyway (most of the pale paper modules are a very light grey-green instead of true white, but still).

Anyway. For now, this is what I've got, though I'm holding off on the actual contest submission until I can get a better picture

Both snowstars are built with a modular cube structure: 6 face modules, each with 2 center inserts + 12 edge hinges, each with color "outsert" on the tip = 42 paper squares of various sizes for each snowstar, assembled without glue. Some of the module pieces are based on patterns in Lew Rozelle's Origami Ornaments.
