Here's a really interesting flagstone tessellation that I recently created. I used my 'Drunken Stairways' tessellation as a jumping off point for how to configure it. But while that used hexagons and trapezoids, in this case, I used hexagons and rhombuses.  It's kind of a back and forth pattern of the rhombuses situated around the open back hexagons. It repeats pretty straight forwardly.  It's not hard to do, provided you follow the crease pattern.  It does remind me though, of just how many possibilites exist in the combination of a handful of basic geometric shapes.  There are so many more patterns to be found. It's fun to think about.  Crease pattern included. 

  This original tessellation continues my exploration of ways to use right triangles. It starts off with the same set of six right triangles twisting around an open back hexagon. At that point the central design is repeated by connected opposite facing right triangles to the first set.  The short edges of the triangles are joined by tucking into small equilateral triangles. . This tessellation combines elements of flagstones, twists and collapses.  It's a somewhat difficult tessellation because the different methods of connecting the shapes kind of go against the natural flow of the grid.  When you're folding an origami tessellation that uses a singular technique everything sort of wants to work together.  When you mix and match methods, they don't always play nicely together.  It's definitely doable though. It's difficult, but not terribly so.  I have a crease pattern. I forgot to photograph it.  Will add it soon. Update: Crease pattern added. ...

 I may have done this tessellation before. I'm not sure. When you do as many tessellations as I do, you tend to lose track and ocassionally repeat yourself.  Update: Renamed this tessellation when I realized I had already used its first title for a previous design.  I tried to see if I could find an older version of it, but I wasn't able to do so. That doesn't mean that I absolutely haven't folded it before, but no matter.  It felt new when I did it this time around.  Better to fold it a second time than to possibly miss an opportunity to fold something new.  It's one of your easier to fold designs. It's a six-sided polygon with triangles twisting off of three sides. When you repeat that pattern you also create open back triangles on the reverse side. That's it. That's all there is to it.  It makes a pretty neat pattern though. A good tessellation for the intermediate folder to hone their skills.  I folded this back in May, but was hesitant to u...

 This is an original tessellation that I did a while back that has been languishing in my google photos waiting to be published. It's unusual compared to my typical designs. I don't recall how I arrived at it, but somehow I did.  It was a rather difficult one to actually fold. And I so happened to decide to fold it using 28 lb printer paper. Which, probably didn't help matters. It kinda works and doesn't work at the same time. I'm still not sure. I was able to get it done. It's a strange assortment of odd shapes and very closely tucked typical ones.  Looking at the crease pattern that I used, it's somewhat bizarre. But I like how it backlights.  Still I kinda wish I had used different paper cause it's not as neat as I would like.  Crease pattern below.
