I think they're the hardest of the bunch (triange, square, rhombic, hexagon).

Ah.Īnyway, the model's quite nice, although I'm still not as comfortable with making rhombic twists as I'd like. I should have used a pencil rather than a pen - or not mess up a couple of times with drawing in the creases. So I'm not showing my usual 'front and back' of a tessellation. And you can't tell when looking at the front. I have to admit I drew in the crease lines on the back - and that was a great help. I used the same size of paper, but went for a 32 division triangle grid. I'd never worked with it before, but heard it was really nice for tessellations. This was a good chance to try using elephant hide. Today I looked at it again and decided that transparent paper wasn't the best choice for the model, and that really I should try a smaller version first. But couldn't quite figure out how to collapse model. You know where this is leading, right? I started with a 64 division triangle grid and added all the rhombi - so far so good. So on that day I started my first attempt. Very naughty indeed! I'm so bad with not accepting such a challenge. It's never actually been folded, so I'm pretty curious to see what it looks like when fully completed. To that end, I've made a CP for a design called 'Rhombic Flowers' which is, surprisingly, a tessellation.įor those of you who enjoy folding tessellations, please give it a try and let me know what you think.

So it's been a fair while since I've made or posted any crease patterns, and I thought it was about time I did so. Two days ago Eric did something very naughty.
