Kites (Iso-Area): Backlit
Tess I made out of a small hexagon of printer paper.
As you can see, I used kite-twists in this tess. I had never seen someone use these before, and for a while I've been trying to come up with a decent design that uses them. So far, this is the best one I could come up with, but IMO it's a bit too "basic" to satisfy me.
This tess doesn't require too much gridding (this one is made with only 16ths), however it more than makes up for that with it's non-grid creases.
Although the pattern is not actually repeated too much here, it looks like it was due to how similar the different parts of it look. I would imagine folding this with 32nds would give a better effect of the true pattern's repetition.
