Here’s a new flagstone tessellation that I not too long ago created and folded. The start line is trapezoids and triangles round a central triangle. From there I simply increase outward utilizing the shapes that work with the area.
As a result of it begins from a triangle, all the things repeats 3 x 3 as an alternative of x 6. So 3 sides are a sample and the alternating 3 sides are a unique sample. The sample of shapes adjustments because the design expands outwards as a result of there may be an increasing number of area to fill.
As a result of this can be a flagstone, it’s a troublesome tessellation to fold. The reverse aspect is filled with triangle twists.
So far as I do know, that is an unique origami tessellation. I’ve not seen it achieved earlier than.
It occurred to after I had accomplished this that the central module can in all probability be repeated if I flip the trapezoids of the second technology. I began to work that out on some grid paper, however have not finalized it but. A tessellation for an additional day!
I did this tessellation with 28 lb white printer paper. And I already took a photograph of the diagram. So it is included.
I solely drew it so far as would match on my 32 pleat grid. Increasing it additional you’d need to map the extra area for your self.
