Shark Teeth Origami Flagstone Tessellation

Shark Teeth Tessellation

 This is another right triangle tessellation. However, in this case, I decided to do a linear pattern. 

I had this idea a while ago, but just recently worked out how to execute it properly. 

It's a flagstone tessellation. Everything is nestled edge to edge. 

The triangles connect to each other in both a mirror pattern and by offsetting for each new row. 

As I was in the midst of folding it, it occurred to me that a really cool variation would be to leave bigger spaces between the rows. I think that would look pretty cool. 

In this case, everything is tucked as close together as possible with just a lot of triangles on the back side. 

It's a little more difficult than a typical flagstone tessellation because many of the folds on the back overlap each other. It works just fine, but it takes some finesse.
