Description

Folded from thirty 5x5cm squares of green foil-backed paper.

The original photo sucked, so I decided to pretty it up in Photoshop. It was a nice test of my design skills too, lol. XD

But yeah... since it was folded from foil paper and all, it kept reflecting the sunlight so I couldn't take a good photo of it in a too brightly-lit area. >__<; Also, this modular required glue, but the foil surface wouldn't take normal glue. I had resorted to using STICKY TAPE (aaargh) on the inside, which kinda worked but still looked quite wonky on the outside. Until my mum suggested superglue. Which worked. But the poor modules had already been stuck, unstuck and restuck so many times... and in the end I don't think it turned out that great. But I was so happy just to have finished it, lol. XD

This was a Christmas present for my sister. Which, in a most organised fashion, I only started and finished folding on Christmas Eve.
