Latin Cross

This is designed by Mr. Francis Ow, famous for his geometric designs and heart-based models.
I was supposed to feature this on November 1 (All Saint’s Day) or November 2 (All Souls’ Day) but because of my hectic schedule I wasn’t able to post it……..
Going on with the model, It is considered Multipiece Origami (made of 2 or more modules but does not have to have the same appearance). It is made of 2 rectangles, one being longer than the other.
This is a good addition to an altar, and a tombstone of a loved one, if your religion is Christian or anything related to it. It is also a good Halloween decoration (though speaking about Halloween is awkward, considering it is already at least a month ago and usually people are already talking about Christmas once December sets in).

This is my design.
I remember making this for a friend during an earlier flood (not the same flood as the one I stated in the “Five-and-Four Tessellation) but then the bastard lost it.
Wow, what a waste.
Anyway, I wasn’t able to make the model for many years until when I learned that designing an origami model can raise your credibility as an origami artist or something like that.
Luckily, I was able to reproduce the steps, an now, It is already A LITTLE famous.

I haven’t made the diagrams, but when I do, I will surely post it in this blog.
It’s easy to reverse-engineer it from the picture, though.
