Tessellation T-est 2 (Marjan Smeijsters)
Another (origami) tessellation study in finding (ir)regular hexagons, matching together. This time in the middle and the first circle using the big regular hexagon, which I changed a little bit, so they look like stars. And then folded the triangle-like hexagon ( which I like) and found his compagnon ;-) There are so many possibilities......!
Again, if you use paper that is thick, it becomes more 3D rather than staying flat ;-).
I'm probably not the first one who discovers this, but I found it independently.
This is how the backlit back-side of 'Tessellation T-est 2' looks like, I flatted it.
Folded from a hexagon of soft, fine-textured paper, about 18 cm, grid 1:48.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
