Comparisons

First row front side, second row back side.

 

The back side of these tessellations looks like a common japanese weave type pattern. It also reminds me of escheresque framework constructions. The blue tessellation features double open (back) triangle twists (as introduced by Madonna Yoder), the yellow one standard (single) open back variants. Additionally, the yellow tessellation is folded with neon printer paper, which intensifies the backlighting effect, making it more transparent. This type of paper (i have only tested one brand so far) appears to be more durable as well, making it a good choice for tessellations.

 

There is a video tutorial available by Madonna Yoder (Gathering Folds).
