Least favorite origami

         Personally, my least favorite origami style to fold is modular origami.  One of the most impressive styles in my opinion, yet I despise it to the core.  Modular origami is taking multiple folded "modules" and connecting them together to form a complete object   Again, no cuts allowed, and no glue allowed.  I think modular origami takes the most patience since it requires you to fold the same piece multiple times, (even hundreds of times) The origami color swan took roughly 650-750 pieces--and no, I don't want to count every single piece--and the swan created by gum wrappers was roughly 400 pieces.  For that model, it took forever to collect that many pieces, not to mention folding those pieces.  For some, modular origami is quite relaxing and is a good activity if your a) really board or b) have a tv series to binge watch.  This specific "sub-style" called 3-D origami, is quite simple and I would suggest it to anyone who wants to get into modular origami.  It isn't all that complicated, it just requires a lot of triangles and careful placement of every piece.  The folding process takes very little effort, in fact, one triangle you could fold in ± 6 seconds.
           The more difficult modular origami is when 3 dimensional aspects are used and are intertwined together, such as the origami tetrahedron.  This model was probably the most difficult for me during the time, and even now.  Every triangle must be placed in the correct orientation, otherwise, the model will not look geometrically accurate.  The more simple modular origami is when the models stay 2-D.  2-D Modular origami is usually where most people begin, its "simple" and straight forward. (generally speaking)  Modular origami does take a lot of patience since if you misplace one step, its difficult to recognize it till like 50 steps later. (Most of the time) When that happens, you'll have to completely take the pieces apart and restart, very frustrating.  Modular origami is very repetitive and takes a lot of time, but in the end yields very impressive models.  However, modular origami just isn't quite my style.
