All the Shapes Origami Tessellation
This intermediate tessellation is from a while ago. It's from my layering phase. It seemed like a really cool idea when I mapped it, but I wasn't that thrilled with the final product. Which is probably why I didn't upload it when it was new. I recently found it in a box of old tessellations and noticed that it hadn't been posted. Just because I'm not that thrilled with it doesn't mean that someone else won't like it. I like the concept... I think I just chose the wrong color paper. That doesn't seem like a very important decision, but it can have a big effect on how the finished model looks and photographs. The center is rhombuses tucked into each other. Then I add trapezoids tucked on top of them. All well and good so far. It gets a little strange after that. I add opposite facing trapezoid and repeat the center. The remaining gaps have an odd assortment of shapes. There are natural triangles, double wide triangles and tall isosceles triangles....
