Menger Sponge Level 1
Paper: Hexagon cutted from 30 cm swimming paper painted with Faber Castell Gelatos
Grid: 32 triangles
Model: Alessandro Beber
Book: Origami New Worlds p. 91-3
32 grid, this took some time to collapse. Swimming paper, which feels a bit like sandwich paper, but with a bit easier reversion of folds, is o.k. to collapse, not as nice to fold as Elephant Hide. But for these tessellations I need larger spacing between grid linrs as I use usually for tessellation, the patterns are very dense. Hence with EH I'd need large sheets, which I currently don't have. Thinner paper, like this swimming paper is an alternative. Perhaps I'll test Tant or Leather, they might work o.k. too.
Menger Sponges and similar geometric stuff attracked me always, one of the first things I ever folded was a Menger Sponge from Sonobes. It is really fun, what one can fold with this technique!
