For my project, I have decided on a gradient In experimenting with different paper sizes I’ve decided that I like the look of the 3 inch square paper better than the 6 inch. The smaller origami balls make it so that it’s more difficult to see the flaws from folding the paper.design where I will use both colored paper and colored lights. With the white light setting, the blue colored paper design I am using will be evident. My hope is that with a yellow light, the blue paper will look green and with a red light it will look purple. I have laid out the preliminary design in Excel, however based on the colored paper availability it may look a bit different.

I am very excited for the paper to come in so I can finally start this project!

The pattern you’ve chosen strikes a nice balance between simplicity and detail. I think it’s going to look really cool! Make sure to line up lots of helpers 😉 You might want to bribe them with treats.
I am really excited to see how the colors of the paper all look together when they are lit up, I think the pattern you chose will be really nice for this project.
I think this will turn out really cool! I like how you got lights that could change color so when combined with the blue paper, it may be able to create new colors!!
