Zhoubi Stars Tessellation: Backlit
So named to relate to Oschene's Zhoubi Bowl... (diagrams for that found here: origami.oschene.com/archives/2006/08/05/zhoubi-bowl/)
There are creases in this tessellation that are folded at the slope of 1/7... Reason why? Well, because the difference between the slope of 1/2 and the slope of 1/3 is apparently 1/7... (easy to demonstrate via graph-paper)...
Backlit view nicely displays the stars. Each individual star has the same exiting-pleat pattern as a plain open-backed square twist, so this is actually just a very simple square twist tessellation which has had half of the twists replaced with stars.
