Snowflake

I am in love with this snowflake

I know it should be fairly easy to figure out the folds just by looking at it but I have never been good at that. Is there a book or a website that shows how to make snowflakes like these?

Thank you!

The link you've provided just goes to the main blog of this person and while there are a lot of very pretty kusudama posted, I don't see anything I would call a "snowflake".

Can you link directly to the image you're interested in? Maybe we can figure it out.

There are several books on the subject at least in German. I have one with the title "Schöne Fenstersterne aus Transparentpapier" (Beautiful window stars from transparent paper). When I type in "Fenstersterne" as search term on http://www.amazon.de I get several equal results. The star from the picture is actually shown in the book I have.
It starts with 16 rectangles 12.5x5cm in size. Fold the long side in half and unfold. Blintz all four corners and fold the edges of the triangles that meet the middle line back to meet the long side of the triangles. The long edges that haven't been folded before should now be folded inwards until they meet the tips of the triangles. Blintz all four "corners" again and then two that meet on one side of the former rectangle again. Now all you need to do is glue the individual parts together.
