This is the 'Spreading Hexagons' tessellation, by Eric Gjerde.

I folded it from 200gsm watercolour paper coated with cyanotype chemicals.

It sat outside almost five days.

Long exposure pushes cyanotype blue into a golden-greenish blue instead.

I like how the edges of the folds have described a multiplicity of hexagons.

Origami is cool.

Long weekend, small tessellation.

The model is "Star Puff" by Ralf Konrad.

For some tessellations, I prefer the recto, for some, the transparency view, but although I like both here, I think that what stands out the most to me on this one is the aspect of the verso. Every hexagonal cell can be puffed independently, just not two adjacent cells at the same time (actually they can, but it makes the two stars merge on the other side).

inspired me to post this video here as well.

Waterbomb tessellation by Eric Gjerde
Folded from an almost-square of 24x24 cm, with a 28x28 square grid.

Sometimes you make things for sheer curiosity.

I've been trying tessellated origami forms for a while. This one is appealing as it is easy to fold and fun to play with.

I folded it from a sheet of watercolour paper coated with cyanotype.

It went outside for a day or so.

When developed, it looked like the final picture.

So now I know. Curiosity sated. Until next time.

Finally finished this one tonight! The design is called Syzygy, by Madonna Yoder. #origami #tessellation

Slow progress on this. It’s the same on the front and the back, which creates some complications figuring out the order in which I have to fold things. #origami #tessellation

A complicated work in progress #origami #tessellation

A fascinating video on fabric pleating (in French): https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=9jklE9XdkG4

They sandwich fabric inside folded cardboard forms, and then steam it to make it keep the pleats.

The cardboard forms are very reminiscent of origami tessellations.

Finished folding this! Wow, what a puzzle of a #tessellation

This project is going very slowly and even though it’s a messy job, I’m going to finish it before trying to fold a presentation-worthy version. #origami #tessellation

This reverse-engineering project is very complicated and this sheet is getting somewhat shredded, but the first round of pattern fits together! #origami #tessellation

This model is Opus 991 by Lydia "Lydiard" Diard, that I folded from a 15x15 cm (6 in) sheet of tant paper.

At this size, fingers become slightly too large, so I am making heavy use of my thinner and pointier folding tool.

I just finished folding this. It took forever but I really like it. #origami #paperfolding #tessellation

This is the "Rose Tessellation" by Toshikazu Kawasaki.

It still has the paper frame that I used to pin it on my student room's door.

This one’s identical on the front and the back! #origami #tessellation

It's been a while, but here is a piece of fresh #art #tessellation

A friend designed this beautiful interactive website for exploring & creating tessellated art (i.e., in the vein of M.C. Escher).

It's ad-free and tracker free--done purely for educational purposes & the love of the art (& math!)
