Lawnmowers Origami Tessellation
created by solvingorigamitessellations.com This new tessellation is kind of the inverse of another tessellation I created not that long ago called 'Interstellar Transmissions' . That one was small hex and triangle stars surrounded by trapezoids. This new one is small hex and trapezoid stars connected by triangles. The geometry tends to work like that. Equal and opposite and so forth. created by solvingorigamitessellations.com The trapezoids connect to the hexagons not along the grid lines, but rather by bisecting them. I call this an offset hex. I don't think that's an official term, but it does describe how the connections between the shapes work. When I got to the edges, instead of simply following the pattern, I used the shapes that fit best to result in nicely finished ends. This is a difficult tessellation . Lots of small shapes all tucked into one another. I used 10 inch by 10 inch tant paper trimmed to a hexagon. A 32 pleat triangle grid. All folds. No cuts
