Post-It Note Tessellation Samples: Back
Here's 3 samples of tessellations I have yet to fold full versions of. They all tessellate properly, even if these small pieces aren't enough to make that obvious.
All 3 pieces were folded from a post-it note gridded in 12ths.
Lower Left: I wanted to make a tess that uses parallelogram twists, so I did. The front has a lattice of parallelograms and the back has overlapping ninja-stars. I anticipate that in full, the backlit view will look like a bunch of 8-pointed stars.
Lower Right: This is another implementation of the strange rectangular twists with non-parallel pleat-creases (as used previously here: www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/4102628486/ ). It loosely follows a 4.8.8 pattern, but half of the octagons on the back were shrunk into squares.
Top: Probably the most interesting of the 3... The backside is a semi-flagstone with all "stones" composed of lines 45-degrees to the grid... but the front is completely off-angular. The crease pattern was designed as a spin-off of the lower right design by further shrinking the remaining octagons into squares as well (which simultaneously changed the rectangles back to squares).
All 3 photos are with identical positioning...
