I'd misread tomorrow's Macro Monday's theme of 'Slices of Food' and thought it was supposed to be 'folds'. Don't ask me how or why but anyhow this is a picture of a scarf folded up.
A few days ago I showed you the "Basics", not so basic, but rather complex, as some of you noticed, but I wanted to take these tessellations as a starting point for showing the alterations and create new patterns. I like complex and dense patterns... sorry....
Anyway, the fun part or the relation between these two tessellations is, that you can easily switch between the hexagons, because they have the same weaving structure. So you can change the 'big' hexagon into the 'smaller' one and visa versa. Of course the back will change then too.
And then you can play with these little and big hexagons making patterns, like "Duo 1".
I made a little tutorial of the folding process of one hexagon, so you can see what I mean.
I put the model on a equal sized green hexagon, so you see how the paper 'shrinks'.
Explanation from left to right:
First row:
1. The paper is divided in 16 grid
2. Making the first corner of the hexagon
3. Finished hexagon frontside
4. and the backside
Second row:
5. The folding continues on the backside, preparing a twisted triangle
6. done ;-)
7. all the triangles are done (backside view)
8. frontside view. You see that paper here has double layers and we have to make them 'clean ' again...
Third row:
9. by opening it up a little bit
10. make nice folds again
11. Finished frontside
12. Finished backside, you see there is a change here too
Fourth row:
13. turning the back to the frontside and push up the big the hexagon to the smaller one ( 1 triangle wide), so the model is 3D now.
14. backside view
15. making the little hexagon flat , frontside view

Fleur aux mille plis,
Ses drapés dansent au vent,
Éternel secret.
Flower of folds,
Its drapes dance in the wind,
Eternal secret.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Folded. When they unfold the umbrellas, it looks like this will be a cool and refreshing place for lunch. HMMM!
✨ “I never thought bare rock could feel this alive.”
Looking closely at these folded and fractured surfaces, I realized they weren’t just geology — they looked almost painted.
Spending time with them slowed me down. The longer I stayed, the more details revealed themselves.
That sense of presence became the starting point for my book, Artwork of Nature.
This image - Folded in Stone - is part of the first chapter, Painted Earth.

Great Blue Heron.
Between 39 to 52 inches long with a wingspan of around 5 feet 10 inches. A common, large mainly grayish heron with a pale or yellowish colored bill. It is often mistaken for a Sandhill Crane but flies with its neck folded and not extended like the Sandhill Crane. In southern Florida an all-white form, the "Great White Heron", differs from the Great Egret in that they are larger with greenish-yellow legs rather than the black legs of the Great Blue Heron.
Their habitat includes lakes, ponds, rivers and marshes.
They breed locally from coastal Alaska, south-central Canada and Nova Scotia south to Mexico and the West Indies. Winters as far north as southern Alaska, central United States and southern New England. Also in the Galapagos Islands.

My mini Pansies were rather battered by the recent rain and the petals became folded. The bud definitly folds in amongst itself. With added texture. HMMM:))
Our house in the middle of the street!
Here is another shot taken of Haugh Fold .... its a few years after my previous upload but still many years ago. I love the cars in this pic! As you can see their is still open land at the top of the street .... now home to Haugh Square. (Check out previous upload)
