Basics

Nothing new for people who make tessellations, but I thought it would be nice, for those who don't fold, to give a little inside how basics forms can be altered into different shapes. It's a little exploring I started during the summer holidays ;-)

And also I get sometimes the request how the tessellations look like in real, not backlit, so here you are ;-)

 

Here you see two "different" tessellations, front (left) and backside (right), who are related to each other. They have been discovered by many people, so I call them "Basics".

I accidentally already altered one hexagon ;-))

It is very hard to explain the difference in words( sorry for that), but I do hope you see it.

 

Here you can see a backlit version. I folded the same patterns but with glassine, which gives such nice results, when backlit, than this paper.

 

Each folded from hexagon about 17cm, duo-color Kraftpaper, grid 1:32

 

If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album "Origami - Tessellation Progression".
