Origami Tessellation: Nuclear Fission

 

Nuclear Fission Tessellation

When I posted my Cats in the Garden Tessellation, I said that I wanted to try to create more tessellations using that same foundation. This is my next creation using that same starting point. 

The idea is pretty simple. Triangle twists with wings. They spin around open back triangle twists on the opposite side.

In this tessellation I used open back hexagons in the repetition of the pattern. 

This neccessitated some unusual shapes in the remaining areas which are quite apparent in the second photo.

I found it tricky to find those unusual shapes during my mapping, but eventually I got it all figured out. 

The pattern itself isn't all that crazy. I'd say it's an intermediate level origami tessellation. Especially if you're folding it using the crease pattern, you shouldn't have much trouble at all.
