A very impressive fabric lamp that is made out of stitched fabric folded into a tessellation style pattern.
it doesn’t say much more than that, but it’s quite interesting to look at!
this reminds me of the fabric art of Takahiro Shirai, which I have really enjoyed looking at (I’m hoping to see more, some day!)
here is an example of Shirai’s work…
Sputnik: Folded from a single sheet of aluminum without any additional elements, welds, etc.
a wonderfully crafty acquaintance on flickr created this artwork- it has many, many cranes involved!
she really taps into some strange, art/design/geometry zeitgeist with effortless ease. I’m envious, to say the least!
Folded by origamiwolf on flickr. a first attempt at MC folding that came out wonderfully! especially folding in Singapore- that humidity must make folding anything crisply almost impossible.
Turkey

Not a tessellation, but an absolutely hilarious fold of a turkey ready to serve.
it was *not* what I was expecting when he said “I folded a turkey!”
Although I think I like this one the best out of any I have seen yet…
I’ve merged the content from my origomi.blogspot.com blog site and my origamitessellations.com site, into a single location. I now have active, working RSS feeds, and all sorts of other good things. I’m particularly excited about how much easier it is for me to add items, which means I’m much more likely to keep things up to date.
One feature I really like is the flickr photo gallery plugin, which allows me to display all my latest flickr photos in a convenient in-site gallery. check it out here.
However, there is a downside: for the time being I am unable to provide Portuguese translations of all my pages, although all diagram documents will be translated (with help from my Brasilian friends!)
Meus apologies, origamigos!
I first saw Ralf’s Origami Page a while back, and I really liked his hexagonal tessellation work- but I’ve only really discovered the breadth of it lately. Here are a few links showing off his great artwork.

and, of course, this one- the most interesting I have seen yet.

do those look familiar? and this is from 2003! looks like we all got scooped here by Ralf. Although I would suspect we’re all just refolding designs by Fujimoto, anyway…

Sorry for the multiple hits here, but I just find this stuff fascinating.
Philip has a 16 sided jar folded- I’m loving the unique and interesting geometry. definitely gives me something to shoot for in my folding abilities!
here’s the photo:
Follow the link for delicious goodness.
Philip (a newly found origami folder to me) posted this spectacular Phi based fold, which is something like a flower/rose/box thing. Phi rocks my world, but I’m utterly unable to fold complex things out of it- something I’m still working on (pentagonal geometry isn’t the easiest thing to work with at times).
He also has crease patterns here so you can fold it! I’d suggest popping over and taking a look. His origami blog is also fascinating as well, and is a new RSS feed for me to take in on a daily basis going forward!
