Image Details
Box tessellation processed with my old math generator (e-fxg).
Applied Julia transform.
Very small amount of post processing in Photoshop (interpolating to black in the middle and hue/saturation change).
Sorry about the 2 logo's, but since the image is symmetric I needed to protect it from both sides since otherwise it can be
reconstructed with ease.

I designed this back in February 2015, but folded it only now.
It is folded from a single 50cm (height) hexagon of Efalin paper, bleached after completing the precresing, but before collapsing.
I'm not sure about its title, if you have suggestions for a better name, let me know.
So this is my rendition of Joel Cooper's Blue Square Tess. It's a bit different because I used smaller grid which I only realised while folding so I didn't make the squares which are on the edges of the paper. It's a wonderful model!
The paper has an amazing texture made by Hillihilde.
Paper: 24cm Vintage
Grid: 32 squares
Model: Tomoko Fuse
I borrowed an exhibition catalogue of Tomoko Fuse and was surprised to find tessellations in it, wonderful large pieces which were incredibly lots of work to fold, really beautiful! This pattern caught my attention and I reverse engineered it.
A new tessellation, which is actually one step forward from another tess of mine. can you tell which one?
I rarely post other people images of my models, but this is a must!
Image by a highly talented lady, Natali Kovalski, who took some images during her visit to the exhibition and was kind enough to share it with me.
One sheet of elephant Hide.
UPD: decided to name this Tortellini tessellation
(remind some italaian freshman stuffed pasta) ;)

Here's another "big" flagstone tessellation.
Actually this one and the previous are not the same but slightly different. The only difference is the cubes' orientation with respect to the stars, giving different impressions while staring at them (as convex/concave cubes floating in front of or behind a plane of stars).
They're also folded in a slightly different manner, resulting in a completely flat pattern (#1), or in a more pronunced relief (#2).
Each of them is folded from a 50cm (height) hexagon of StarDream paper, back in Feb. 2015; designed by me in Jan. 2015.
A Voronoi diagram is a division of a space determined by distances to a specified set of points. It is the mathematical construct that determines bubbles, cellular growth and most other "packing" models of fluid substances. Each entity (bubble, cell, etc.) is marked by a point, and the space is constructed around that point such that it tries to balance the divides between the points.
This is Step Three: Bisecting each connector at its halfway point... then using those points to form discrete "cells." There seem to only be two rules: A) No angle can be drawn greater than 180˚, and B) Only one Marker can be in each cell. These rules fall out of the math that governs this naturally occurring pattern.

I've first seen this corrugation authored fresh by someone at facebook. I decided that I want to fold it after reverse-engineering. Later I found that I already had the same corrugation in my own favs at flickr! (I think you can find there everything now). And of course I completely forgot about it
;)

The same "tessellation", improved again.
This time it came out very close as I expected, and again I think there should be a better way to fold the center.
The triangle tiles (made with 3 triangle twists and an hexagonal one) are inspired by Chris Palmer's "Watering Fujimoto's Garden", so the name is explained.
Designed by me some weeks ago, folded from a 38cm (heigth) regular dodecagon
This is a more conventional way of folding my square interlace tessellation than the bracelet. Folded from a 32×32 grid, with each molecule using 6×6 grid units.
I derived this model from Her Majesty’s Tessellation by removing most of the free spaces (“land”) between molecules. Each molecule is still 6×6 grid units. Folded from the rare red Elephant Hide paper.
Not the first tessellation I've seen in this vein, but maybe the first to use a curved twist-lock. Maybe not, I don't get around much anymore.
I found three stable steps in this molecule, but the paper is way too small to show them here. Letter size. Need to think bigger.
Eric Gjerde's model with some more holes in it. Embossed and cut with a KNK Zing. Another time, I think I'd fold the grid and then cut the holes. Gridding holey paper is not the easiest thing one can do.
A new tessellation, designed and folded by me. Basic molecule is 6×6 grid units. In this particular execution, a lot of extra margin was added around and between molecules in order to use the convenient to fold 32×32 grid.
Another goat, This one a sheep. An experiment an an idea of using a cubicle tessellation for the wool (Beth Johnson's). Still one square, no cut, no glue.
A refold of my older design, Stacked Propellers Tessellation. There is a similar pattern designed by Ilan Garibi, called Bagan or Pagodas.
This pattern, derived from my Double Spearhead Tessellation curls up, forming a tube which looks like the stalks of a rose or another thorny plant. When you look inside, you can recognize the Yoshimura Pattern - rows of triangles which form a cylindrical surface.

It took me about five years after folding the Woven Square Box to fold a tessellation with multiple molecules used on the box. This model differs from Square Interlace Tessellation by just one fold: in the last step, there is a simple valley fold instead of a reverse fold. This small modification changes the look of the tessellation quite a bit. The valley fold has the tendency to unfold (can you spot it in the picture?), so either use paper with very good memory, or resort to wet folding or ironing to keep the folds in place.
This origami tessellation combines elements from some of my other models. While reading Robert Lang’s tessellation book, I realized that many molecules can be viewed as kinds of twists even if they do not look like twists at first glance. Such is the case also with this model and hence the name.
This fold was also my test of Lokhu paper. It shares many characteristics, both good and bad, with Lokta, and even the name is similar. Like Lokta, I liked the look of the paper, but hated working with it. The paper was too soft for this model and making precise precreases as well as reversing folds was difficult. In contrast to hand-made Lokta, this is a machine-made paper and one with a huge difference when folding with and against the grain. The difference as both in bending resitance and in how difficult it was to reverse a crease (it was much worse in the parallel direction). This difference also made diagonal creases hard to fold precisely as the paper tended to lead the crease off the intended direction. On the up side, I like the look of this slightly glossy paper with lots of visible fibers. Folding this copper-colored sheet made me think of mammoth fur. The texture also hides precreases rather well which makes folding harder but makes the finished model look better. Collapsing the tessellation was hard, due in part to the lack of stiffness and in part to this paper’s tendency to unfold. I had to put a lot of effort (long-term dry shaping) into making this model stay flat and not try to unfold. Overall, this is an interesting paper with nice looks, but seems to be a poor choice for tessellations. It might on the other hand be well suited for animals or similar models. I haven’t checked its wet-folding behavior.

A wonderful tessellation, which I've done before with less molecules. This time EH, which due to my treatments was a bit hard to, hmmm, not to collapse but to press tightly.
For many years you saw my work here. After 40 months in hard labor my first origami book is out. It includes 32 models (all but two are mine).
I can never thank enough Franziska W. Schwarz for making such beautiful hand-drawn diagrams, and to Elina Gor for the perfect design and cover.
And if you do not find any grammar mistakes, it is due to the professional work of Sherry Gerstein, my editor.

This tessellation feels a bit like a flagstone tess when folding, but spacing between the flagstones makes everything easier to fold. Had to give it spring colours to let the leaves dance extra happily!
The most common question I am asked is "How do you do that?".
At the lowest level - this is just a folded paper. I fold a grid, add some extra fold lines and collapse the paper to the final shape. Creating a new design (what I call a new molecule for tessellation), always starts with a self conviction - "I can do it". Yes, even after two hundreds of original models, this is an obstacle you must cross, when you try to be creative, making a new thing out of nothing.
If you saw my Square of Life, you can see the resemblance. This design is more mature, solving a conflict I had in the previous model. I will call it "Childhood".
One sheet of Elephant HIde, hand folded, no cuts or glue. But you know that already.
scatter-plotted by random pen drops.
folded from hand-made abaca paper.
on display last weekend at UDLA, Santiago, Chile.
Last February, I folded again a few older works (from 2012), in order to take new pictures and exhibit them, as the original ones were left somewhere around the world (maybe in Tokyo? maybe at EMOZ? maybe given as a gift to a friend? I don't remember now).
In particular, I folded a better rendition of each of these 3 works (Hexagonal Tessellation of Dodecagons #1, #2, #3, designed in Dec. 2012).
Then I asked a friend to take some pictures, and he was playing with macros and my "lightbox" (a plastic panel + his reptile lamp...)

Elephant Hide.
it is actually a variation on Childhood, which is a variation on the Cube Tess. It is also a variation on Hilula.
Designed by David Huffman. CP found in Erik Demaine's paper about reconstructing David Huffman's designs.
Folded from a ~30cm square of Fabriano Tiziano 160gsm paper. Grid of 48, although in retrospect, 50 would have been better, as it would have allowed creating an even border, like in the original design, so that the overall shape is a hexagon (photo in paper linked above).

A few days ago, I needed a help from a friend, Hagay Golan, to decipher a model of mine, I couldnt remember how to fold again. Hagay has this talent to understand by observing only, how an origami model is made. So, I jumped to his house and he showed me how to fold my own model. Since we met, I thought of bringing my latest models with me and we started to talk about them, too. This model, named "Square of life - Adulthood" was developed while we talked origami, so the design credit goes also to Hagay.
"Square of life - Adulthood", design by Hagay Golan and Ilan Garibi; folded by me from a single sheet of Elephant Hide.
Debido a su nivel de complejidad, quizás alguien ya haya realizado esta tesela pero de igual modo la comparto, pues me ha parecido muy hermosa y facil de hacer :-)
Because of their complexity, perhaps someone already has made this tile but equally share it because I found very beautyfull and easy to make :-)

This origami tessellation represents Union Jack, the flag of the UK. Since the pattern is quite intricate, even a single molecule can make an interesting model.
The collapse is rather difficult but it is possible to fold a simplified version. The molecule uses a 10×7 square grid (with a few creases with half-unit coordinates). However, in order for it to actually look like the British flag, an extra unit of margin is needed, bringing the grid to 12×9. This margin can be shared by adjacent molecules.
This model was folded from a paper called Earth Treasure, a single sheet of which I bought for testing at Outdoor Origami Meeting a year ago. Like Kami, this paper is colored on one side and white on the other. However, it feels thicker and crispier than Kami. I don’t know how its weight is officially, but it felt like 80-90 gsm. Surprisingly, I was not able to find any information about this paper online. The paper folded quite well, but it felt like it might tear or at least lose color if there were too many creases meeting at a single point. There was a noticeable difference when folding with and against the grain.
Another view of my Stacked Propellers Tessellation refold. There is similar pattern designed by Ilan Garibi, called Bagan or Pagodas.
