Alternate Realities Origiami Tessellation
So, I had this idea for a tessellation doing teardrop shapes pointing outward from an open back hexagon. I had it all plotted out and ready to go. I started folding it and the center came out as intended, but then I kind of lost track of my reference points for what was meant to come next. I had originally intended to repeat the central pattern. Rather than just give up, I decided to improvise the rest of the fold. What I wound up with is the tessellation shown above. A week later, I was able to fold the original idea to completion. That will be a post for another day. Both designs use a starting point with which I'm quite fascinated. It involves folding a standard open back hexagon, but then you twist small, natural trapezoids off of it. They land so close that it kind of layers everything on top of each other. This in and of itself doesn't offer much to look at, but it opens up many possibilities for where to go from there. You can see a dia...
