Byriah Loper's Twisted Pleats Flower Tessellation

 I saw a tessellation by Byriah Loper on flickr that made me want to fold it for myself.

After puzzling over it for not too terribly long I had the road map and was able to recreate it. 

It wasn't too hard to fold. A little fussy. 

It helps if you have very sturdy paper. 

Congratulations Byriah on a wonderful creation. 

I have a single module crease pattern as well. 

I will add the pic of that at a later date. 

Crease pattern as promised:

Herringbone Tessellation

Messing around with rhombuses yielded this interesting pattern. It utilizes reverse rabbit ear folds to create triangular points which connect the running rows of rhombus twists. The triangles form in the spaces between the rhombuses. Then there are mirror triangles to facilitate the the next row.  It kinda looks and folds like a square grid tessellation even though it's done using a triangle grid.  It's a fairly easy fold.  I do have a crease pattern. Just need to take a pic and upload it. Update: photo of crease pattern added below.

Infinite Triangles Origami Tessellation

Image
This is just a flash idea I had. There was no planning involved. No inspiration. I just started folding and followed the lure of the creases in the paper.  Upon seeing the finished result, It kind of reminds me of Robin Scholz's Triphilia tessellation, but the construction is definitely different and I was not thinking of that as I was crafting it. The similarity is that you can arrange the layering of the triangles into different patterns of your choice.  I went looking and discovered  I had folded this a few years ago and called it Triangle Temptations . I didn't realize this until after I'd completed this model.  Apparently, according to my original post, I'd seen someone else fold it on flickr and recreated it.  This happens sometimes. You hit on an idea and it's something you've done and forgotten. They linger in the back of your brain and come forward unexpectedly.  That previous version differed from this one slightly, in that it used double sized cr...

Circling the Crown Origami Flagstone Tessellation

Image
  solvingorigamitessellations.com Here is a new flagstone tessellation that I recently created and folded. The starting point is trapezoids and triangles around a central triangle. From there I just expand outward using the shapes that work with the space.  Because it starts from a triangle, everything repeats 3 x 3 instead of x 6. So 3 sides are a pattern and the alternating 3 sides are a different pattern. The pattern of shapes changes as the design expands outwards because there is more and more space to fill.  solvingorigamitessellations.com Because this is a flagstone, it is a difficult tessellation to fold. The reverse side is full of triangle twists.  As far as I know, this is an original origami tessellation . I've not seen it done before.  It occurred to me after I had completed this that the central module can probably be repeated if I flip the trapezoids of the second generation. I started to work that out on some grid paper, but haven't finaliz...
