Here you see the finished version of "Prelude". It reminds me of a rotor, so that's how it got its name.
It has a concave shape, so you are looking inside.
The other side called "Interaction" looks like this.
Folded with 'Anett paper', named after a dear origami-friend from Germany, who provided me this paper. It is indeed lovely paper for this kind of tessellations, so I am grateful to her ;-)).
Because this paper is whitish, I decided to go for a black and white version.
Grid 1:64", hexagon about 33cm, finished model about 17 cm.

A few years back I gave a friend of mine a tessellation made of glassine paper for her birthday. As you perhaps know, the beauty of a tessellation folded with that paper, one can see the best when it is backlit. She put it in her window so it catches sunlight. But now that tess is bleached completely and she wants a new one, if that would be possible. Here you see the first new one called "Squares". I want to make a few different pattern, but all based on "Blocks", so she can make a choice.
Paper: glassine, 20x20cm, grid 1:16
Discovered this pattern independently.
As some of my friends know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE to wrap!
I love presentations . . . the only problem is that people complain that they don't want to *unwrap* my gifts! oh well . . .
So here is the front and back of one of my traditional yearly calendars . . . .
ENJOY! and Happy Sliders Sunday, two hours before it is Monday! Nothing like the last minute!

Topview of origami "Star Prints" by Aldo Marcell.
Here you can see the "face view" of this model ;-D
Origami "Star Prints" is related to another dodecahedron I folded earlier: "Oleo", (also created by Aldo Marcell), which is an "easier" version, just a few creases less.
Folded from 30 pieces of double colored kami paper (7,5x7,5 cm).
No glue.
Tutorial can be found here.

Folded for a friend of mine, she liked these open versions of my two tessellations Connection 5 and Connection 6. And I was able to take a photo them this time ;-))

Tessellation Btt-5 is the final step of "Open Extended tessellation 5". (and it is the bigger sister of 'Tessellation Btt-4' with a few differences). You see both sides, I still can't decide which one is the front or back side.
Hexagon 33cm, thin parchment-paper( I think it is called), grid 1:96

It is fun and interesting to fold this "old Snowflake", designed in 1993. Because it is tessellation related, but only using the necessary lines, so it looks as clean as possible, without superfluous creases.
I folded it from glassine, which gives a great effect when backlighting is used and the hidden beauty becomes visible.
One could also fold it with not translucent paper, and then it looks like a lovely flower. ;-)

Folded from hexagon 21cm, white glassine, final size 15cm (from point to point)
A little version of "Woven rings" by Joel Cooper. I don't have the right paper (yet) to make a bigger one.
Big thanks to Monika Hanková, who reverse-engineered this lovely model and showed us the backside. So now I could figure it out how to fold it.
This paper is too thick and I had to flatten the hexagon and the triangles.
The frontside is very nice but I also like the backside, when it is backlit. Here you can see different views of the backside.
Hexagon out of A4, grid 1:28. Final size about 9 cm.

"""""""" WHO AM I ????? I would really like to know that!!
So sorry, that I immediately barged in with a serious philosophical issue……
But yesterday I was just an ordinary square piece of paper, cozy on a pile with my family and friends.
Suddenly I had to do all kinds of stretching exercises to get into this shape and I really don't know what will happen next…….. missing my friends……feeling quite stressed……. Hopefully time will reveal it soon! """""""

Wishing you all a nice day, despite the weather conditions, much rain here…...
This time I connected 7 of my butterfly-module with each other and with that new basic pattern called "Connection 4", I created two different patterns : "Connection 5 " and "Connection 6".
I did a color change on this shot and to my surprise it showed, more than the unedited version, an angel or an insect, I hope you see it too ;-)
Folded from a blue sheet of glassine, hexagon 33cm, grid 1:64
When I first saw this model, without knowing how it was called , I thought it was a kind of angel or a little bat. The designer, Paul Frasco, calls it "Little Devil". I think a nice name would also be "Bat-devil" ;-)).
Because I thought it could be an angel, it reminded me of the song of Elvis Presley "Devil in disguise".

Arisawa Yuga created this lovely origami Santa Crane.
The crane (Tsuru) is a symbol of long-life as Japanese folkore believes the crane can live for 1000 years. The crane is also a symbol for happiness, friendship, good luck and peace.
Folded from 30x30cm kamipaper.

When I visited my dear friend Katharina, I discovered this flower and that's why this tessellation carries her name : "Kathy's flower" ;-)) The flowers are 3D, they rise out of the paper, so to speak.
The first folding steps also gave a nice result.

У вас такое бывало, чтобы бумага спасала модель? я бы эту красавицу не собрала, если бы не сиреневая бумага. Если бы не сиреневая бумага, я бы эту бумагу растащила на тесты... но разве можно раздраконить драгоценную сиреневую бумагу? Этот долгострой лежал в состоянии 10 модулей несколько месяцев...
For Macro Mondays theme "Corner" ... origami has many corners, creases, and folds.
An alternative, more standard paper crane shot is in the comments. I liked the negative space in this one.
This is one of the last meeting-points where origami Santa's gather together and discuss about the world of "Humans" and how they maybe can change it.
A foldable kusudama-fire keeps them warm.
Did you know that Santa's don't need any sleep at all? I didn't ;-)

***Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.
The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.
Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as art card editions and originals (ACEOs).(Wikipedia)

I met Michał Kosmulski at het German Origami Convention and not so long ago he created the "Double Spearhead Tessellation" and I finally found some time to fold it too! (first row, left photo).
I like the backlight versions of this tessellation very much, because you can see so many patterns each time you focus differently. That why I rotated it too, gives a different feel. (first row, right photo).
In the second row you see my variation of this tessellation, called "Neptune scales" . Big thanks to Marguerite-Helene ;-))
Here you can see the beginning: "Blocks"
Both tessellation folded from 20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24.

The angles are 36˚, so this model is a real 'small stellated dodecahedron' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_stellated_dodecahedron
slightly other (bit stronger) assembly mechanisms are possible for this unit, but they eliminate the color change at the peaks.
You know I'm sort of mad on spirals over the last time. I search new forms, that can be folded with spirals... When I did this (
flic.kr/p/rTyvqK ), Daniel Kwan shown me his version of curved Spidrons flic.kr/p/59BHdi. I tried it. And to say the truth I didn't much like this exact form, because it hardly collapses. It's not about the paper that rips, it's about the geometry. So I made my own version of this 'symmetry' with my curves. Here's one of the examples, there are many possible. My version is fully collapsible.
One sheet of Tant paper, about 14cm in diameter when unfolded and 5 cm when collapsed. Very playable model.
The name is Triton (A)
As said before, I wanted to see what the pattern would look, like if I did all the same folding steps of the "Kathy Flower" on one side. This is the result. The title is an anagram ;-)
I did the closest distance and then it turns out to be more related to the second one in the ""Collection ".
You can see phase 2 here.
Phase 1 looks like this, a whole field of "Swirling Stars".

Origami 'Her Majesty and His Royal Highness' want to thank everyone for being so kind for visiting their colorful origami-land. They hope you had a really nice carnaval and will come back another time.
These two models are also my variations of "Clown mask 2" by Hideo Komatsu.
Folded from 15x15cm duo colored paper.
After I folded the origami Owl by Melina Hermsen AKA Yureiko , I wanted to do a little version as well ;-)) So I did. Folded this little snow-owl out of a hexagon from bible paper about 33cm, grid 1:48. Finished model about 12 cm height.
When the folding was finished I cut the owl out, two triangles around it to fold backwards for making a border to keep it more together.
I think was Robin Scholz, who inspired me to do the cutting or at least made me think about it ;-))
Happy Halloween everybody!!!!!!

The last fold in the middle of the starflowers from "Yellow and you get "Blue" with stars. Now this tessellation is finished ;-))
It is a bigger version of the "Ice-flower" molecule.
This pattern is also related to "Purple".

I really like this design because of the versatility with the tail. Not sure I've done it justice yet but am having fun working on it.
A path of hexagons and triangles ;-)) Folding a new tessellation.
"I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it."
Quote - Rosalia de Castro
I started to fold the "Face_pattern" with elephant hide, just for an experiment to see how it would look like with this paper. To my surprise it didn't stay flat, but started to curl and in the middle a bowl arose (photo left).
I stopped folding and only made a few, already existing, creases stronger on the back (right photo), so it would maintain it's new shape even more.

What a fun model to fold! I saw it on the live stream of the 2015 OrigamiUSA Convention and I knew I just had to try it. This is actually my 2nd fold of the model, and just one side of it -- I folded it a little while ago, and I had actually forgotten that both sides were different! Another reason why this model is just so fascinating. I'll have to take another picture of the other side of the model soon. Made with 15cm paper.
