This can be a refold of a tessellation I created again in April 2021 referred to as ‘One Means Streets’.
At the moment, I used to be unfamiliar with the assorted kinds of paper obtainable to facilitate higher completed tessellations. So I folded it utilizing bizarre 20 lb. printer paper. It labored okay, however not as properly as I’d’ve preferred.
I used to be additionally, rather more lax in maintaining with saving my diagrams for tessellations that I created. So the unique put up doesn’t have any kind of crease sample documentation.
It isn’t a very tough tessellation to reverse engineer, nevertheless it’s nonetheless good to have that possibility.
Anyway, this time round, I used tant paper. Which I like for extra intricate tessellations. I additionally used this design to inaugurate my first use of a beautiful turquoise colour of it that I discovered. It is fairly placing.
The design is bullet shapes round giant hexagons. So as to repeat the sample, some small rectangles are wanted right here and there.
It is a bit of tough to work the reverse aspect. It requires some very small folds beneath the sides of the hexagons. However you probably have every part else located, it is not too exhausting.
I have been a bit of obsessive about discovering different tessellations that work utilizing this bullet form. Nevertheless, I’ve discovered that they’re a tough form to reconcile with repeating patterns. I’ve discovered another potentialities although. Which can finally grow to be future uploads.
Crease sample under.
