| View taken inside a magic Ball |
To the untrained eye, a square of paper is but a scrap, but for an origami artist, it has endless possibilities. When we fold a plain piece of paper into something else, It’s not just a change – but a transformation – something that once was has become something new - almost magical.
Looking at the pattern below you might think twice to risk doing it! But trust me my time was really worth spent on this. It took me a couple of hours to finish the folds; some done while I was travelling back from work, some while entertaining myself with television serials. All you need is patience with precision and just keep following the folds.

| Alternate water bomb Pattern for magic ball evolution, which can be turned insisde out, with double sided folds at ridges. |
The a3 sheet is divided into 44 equal parts horizontally and 16 equal parts vertically as shown above. All these folds are ridges and the diagonal folds shown as a hatch are all valley folds. This pattern consists of only water bombs which are alternatively arranged. The edges are taped to get the ball - like shape; although this is against origami principles. You can see the results below.
The best part of this pattern is that we can turn it around entirely even with the edges taped!! I shall update a picture of that soon!
