Trapped! Origami Tessellation

  This is an intermediate level tessellation that I recently created and folded. It uses small hexagons with rhombuses offset from them. Then it also adds open back hexagons as well. The pattern of the rhombuses around the open back hexagons is set by how they rotate around the small hexes.  I conceived of this original tessellation from the other side (second photo), but I think that I like the first photo a little more.  When I was first starting out and looking at my diagram, I thought it would be pretty hard. Turned out, not so much. I didn't have much trouble at all.  It was somewhat time-consuming, but otherwisee, a pretty pleasant tessellation to fold.  My crease pattern is included below.  Filed under: February 2025 Origami Tessellations
