Figuring out and folding the creations of other origami tessellation designers is one of my passions.
While coming up with my own creations is very satisfying, I tend to think, I'm a little bit better at reverse engineering the finalized ideas of others. Bonus: doing so usually provides inspiration for new ideas.
There are a number of designers whom I follow and regularly try to solve and fold their models. Madonna Yoder aka @gatheringfolds, is one of them.
When I want to solve a tessellation that is intriguing, beautiful and satisfying, but isn't infuriatingly difficult, her designs are often what I choose.
In this case, I did her Dancing Pyramids Tessellation.
Apparently, I spaced it a little differently (as she informed me). Lol. That was unintentional, but just fine by me. As long as I'm able to solve the puzzle, I'm happy.
This particular configuration of a sextuplet of three triangle twists on the front and three on the back has a lot of possibilities we've both been exploring.
I look forward to what we'll discover next.
