River Shrinking
This is a demonstration of a tessellation transformation I use sometimes.
I started with the tess on the left here. It is a variation on a 4.8.8 pattern that I designed using pleats with non-parallel creases and rectangular twists.
By shortening the parallel creases in the green "river" and the magenta "river" by 1 grid-unit, as well as every similar river, the tess gets shrunk to the one on the right (sample in lower right corner of this: www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/4822320267/).
This procedure can be done again to the CP on the right, shortening the diagonal creases in the green/magenta rivers by 1 diagonal grid-unit. The result of this second transformation is the Accidental Pseudo Flagstone (cp: www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/4856146976/)
