Today I decided to try making tissue foil. Some spray glue, foil, and red and green tissue later I finished my first attempt. Not perfect, but good enough to check what it was like to fold a model out of it. So I searched for a simple duo-colour flower, and this is the result.
Paper: 27cm square of tissue foil
Finished model: 13.5cm x 13.5cm
flower: 8.5cm diameter
leaves: 6.5cm length, 4.5cm width

This model kind of reminds me of the Spanish origami model Estrella Marina.

Continuing the chain
And the model you posted reminds me of Carmen Sprung's Blütenkreisel.

Lovely Model and Great Idea...
It looks wonderful!
It doesn't seem at all like a first try!
Please, try to make a video on how you did the tissue paper!

Thnkx!
The video seemed hard to follow due to the lack of oral instructions, but after a while I understood everything! I just hope that the paper isn't too fragile...

It's a good how to video but it does take a few watches to get the hang of it.

This may be a stupid question, but I'm fairly new to origami so bear that in mind. When I did Peter Budai's diagram, the flower and the leaves are the same color (or the leaves are white). How did you get the red flower and the green leaves?
Thanks!

If you start with paper that
If you start with paper that has different colours on each side, then you'll get a different colour for the leaves and the flower itself. I glued a sheet of red tissue and a sheet of green tissue back to back to get this result.
