Tap Dancing Origami Tessellation

 This is a twist based origami tessellation using trapezoids and hexagons. I think that I created it two weeks ago and just gto to folding it about a week ago.  The most notable thing about it, is that even though it uses hexagonal twists, it's actually a linear configuration.  This was achieved by connecting the hexagons to each other rather than just repeating the trapezoids all around them.  This happens pretty naturally when you connect the trapezoids vertically and look for a way to repeat the design horizontally.  It's also a mirror symmetry design. Each side is a mirror image of the other.  It's a pretty easy tessellation to fold. Any ordinary paper will work fine.  My diagram is below.
