New work: Circle lacy vase

This piece builds on my last piece where I made the lacy patterns match up as they crossed over the folded pleats. The diamonds in the last piece were a very regular and mathematical pattern, but this pattern is much more irregular. I arranged the pattern by cutting out circles of 4 different sizes, then tracing them onto the back of the paper wherever they fit. It’s not obvious from the photos, but I made sure the circles are continuous over the seam where the two edges of paper meet. It’s not often I use much (or any) irregularity or randomness in my origami designs, but I’m happy with how this turned out.
