This tessellation relies on a collapsed hexagon. I then use the flaps that consequence to make some overlapping triangle twists round it.
Repeating it was only a matter of including sufficient house between the repetitions. As I repeated the central set of triangles across the hexes, I discovered {that a} bigger hex collapse was wanted within the gaps between the repeats. I nonetheless used the identical sample. Three are the identical as the middle and three are a bigger model of the it. That every one being dependent upon how I spaced the second set of repeats.
Taking a look at my diagram, I feel it may have been spaced one pleat nearer collectively for a special consequence, however it was difficult sufficient the best way it’s.
I really feel like I could have carried out this up to now, however I went on the lookout for it and couldn’t discover a earlier model.
It may be onerous to discover a particular tessellation that you just may need carried out earlier than while you’ve carried out so many. It is also solely potential that I considered it up to now, however wasn’t in a position to full it efficiently the primary time round.
I am unsure if it has been carried out earlier than by another person. Perhaps. Most likely. It is nothing too floor breaking. However I prefer it lots.
I’ve a sure affinity for shapes that tuck into each other. I do not know why. I similar to it after I can discover workable designs of that nature.
This tessellation is slightly misleading in that the primary sample is fairly easy, nonetheless, repeating it’s far more troublesome.
Finishing the middle is not going to be onerous, however understanding any extra iterations might be a problem.
It was additionally slightly troublesome to get all of the factors and flaps to tuck and keep tucked the best way I needed them organized.
It may be a by no means ending battle to get all of the shapes and flaps to tuck precisely as you need them to for the ultimate photograph. I tried a number of occasions to get all the things simply so and took many pictures pondering I might gotten it as I needed. Solely to understand, I might nonetheless missed one tuck. Sigh.
I named it after the carnival/boardwalk experience as a result of that is the very first thing that I considered after I regarded on the completed design.
