Red Blood Cells Origami Tessellation
This is a pretty simple original origami tessellation that uses the natural twist of an open back hexagon to create multiples series of spinning miniature house shapes. The unique array of disparate shapes combine to form what reminds me of small dancing microscopic hemoglobin cells. The hue of the paper, no doubt, contributes to the sensory illusion. This intermediate level origami tessellation can be folded fairly easily, provided you possess just an intermediate level of skill and a small amount of patience. Who knows what scientific phenomena the finished patterns will make you think of. It mostly depends on what color paper you choose. The back side of the original tessellation is a crowded configuration of overlapping large natural hexagons which serve as spacers for the repetitions. Crease pattern follows. Top right corner has a different tessellation which can be ignored for these purposes. Filed under: May 2026 Origami Tessella...
