Continuing ORILAND MAGIC STAR showcase!
Please, welcome Chiyo Magic Star – an action model that can be rotated, producing a mesmerizing effect of changing Chiyogami patterns and colours! :-)
This variant of Oriland Magic Star is folded from 48 squares of paper, without any glue or cutting. For it we used fabulous Chiyogami papers of 48 different colourings and patterns. We kept the same scheme (like in our classic Magic Star) of 6 spectral colours of rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. So each of 6 Ring-Modules made out of 8 squares in one colour, but with various patterns of Chiyogami paper.

So you can see all 48 chiyogami favours in this Oriland Magic Star! This mosaic of images shows the different views of only one model and we may say it’s many faces of the Chiyo Magic Star! :-)
You may see the Chiyo Magic Star in 3D also! 
It is a stereo pair for crossing method of viewing and to see stereo here: look directly at the stereo pair, slightly de-focus and smoothly cross your eyes without any tension (your right eye sees the left image and vice versa) keep crossing very relaxingly and you will see 3 pics with the stable 3-D image in the middle… If you cannot see in stereo… well, then just enjoy the pics :-)
And even better, watch this Chiyo Magic Star in action! :-) … and get mesmerized by the effect of changing Chiyogami patterns and colours!
The mesmerizing music in this video is by Julian Ray Music
For this particular star we have used 5 1/2-inch (14 cm) squares of Chiyogami, and the finished star is measuring about 7 inches (17 cm) in diameter. The model is quite robust and is a total fun to play with – enjoy!
The fascinating Chiyogami papers for this star were graciously presented by our friends form The Japanese Paper Place, here in Toronto. You may learn about famous Japanese Chiyogami papers at The JPP website and browse through their collection of 800 patterns of Chiyagami (we used just 48 of them here)! http://www.japanesepaperplace.com/wholesale/chiyo/chiyogami-yuzen-general.htm
The diagrams of Magic Stars can be found in our eBook “Oriland Magic Star”.
By the way, this very Chiyo Magic Star is starring the book cover, being the second star in size here, facing by the flower-like side.
