I usually prefer simple 5 petal roses but this rose with its multi-folds stood out on my visit to the Rose Garden at the Los Angeles County Arboretum.
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
16. backside view

MACRO MONDAYS 'Paper' theme
I have never got out of the habit of avoiding cash since Covid, this is just in case I get stuck one day!
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.

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:))
This was a rare encounter with three young hyenas where it was permissible to get out of our vehicles. The safety of the animals is paramount.
I took advantage of the opportunity to get a very low vantage point. It was a watchful but relaxed pre-sunrise moment that I will always remember!

Two more in the series follow.

On a lovely road along the Montana/Idaho border I came across this idyllic cabin, long since abandoned. I walked back and looked around. There's nothing left, really. Just two cabins (one was just out of frame) with a small wash separating them.
I don't know if someone tried to homestead the land or if these were miners or maybe a line camp for a ranch. But it was a pretty site to do whatever they were doing here.
