Shark Teeth Origami Flagstone 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.
Crease pattern included.
