Description
This is a spherical modular origami model known as the Columbine Kusudama. It is composed of multiple identical units, each folded to resemble a flower petal, which are then interlocked to form a beautiful, multi-faceted ball. The model features a vibrant mix of patterned and solid-colored papers, creating a visually appealing geometric floral design.
