Hi Mark
Javier Caboblanco and Francis Ow independently discovered this modular
4-fish base model.
A couple of years ago, Francis brought it to my attention as his discovery,
but later told me that he had found out that Javier Caboblanco discovered
this 8-Pointed Star independently, before him.
Francis was not aware if Javier did any of other variations that Francis
subsequently posted on his Facebook page.

Warm regards,

Leyla

That’s a variation of a model by Tomoko Fuse from her book Motif Pattern of 
Origami (ISBN978-4-569-70773-0). I’ve made pins from it, and also tree 
ornaments.

Best,
Jane
