Bwahah. I keep thinking I ought to knit another one of those Klein bottle hats these days.
Floral Origami Globes is basically a set of variants on the type of modular origami built from the "Sonobe base"; as I said, most of the book's models require at least 12 (more or less) identical 2-part modules, and if there are major irregularities among them, they can be difficult to put together. (And some of them need glue, which annoys me.)
Tomoko Fuse had another book, Kusudama Origami, which I was hoping this would be closer to; those models don't require quite as much paper, typically 6 square faces, 12 quarter-sized edge hinges (another three squares), and maybe some central ornaments for the faces (another 2-6 squares). But I think the most impressive results from the least amount of paper are probably the 6-square "brocade balls" from yet another books; various pix are here (http://wombat1138.deviantart.com/gallery/artisan/origami/) to give some examples.
