triangular squash twist + triangular hexagon tessellation combined Originally uploaded by Origomi. new funky thing in the works. more to come later.

pentagonal twist Originally uploaded by Origomi. OK, so it’s doable. this one isn’t very pretty, though. definitely a work in progress! I can’t figure out how to collapse the star tips properly- all the angles involved are confusing and non-obvious to a certain extent. we’ll see, I guess.

Christiane Bettens has some more tessellation photos- a nice version of the spread hex fold. thanks for sharing it with us! http://origami-art.org/gallery/Tessellations!

octagonal star twist draft crease pattern Originally uploaded by Origomi. very, very hacked together crease pattern. I’m pasting my notes from the entry here… ———– this was a really poor chop job I did in illustrator so I had something to reference as I folded. I realize the lines don’t match up at all, but I’m working off a hand-generated set of pre-creases anyway so this is really more of a visual guide than anything. it’s a little trickier than the hexagonal star twist, although much of the thought process is the same. there’s a lot more excess material due to the sharper angles involved so it’s quite a bit more unwieldy. I’m glad I didn’t jump straight to the dodecagon twist like I had originally been thinking! Look for a formalized CP and document release of this model sometime… next week? not sure when, I guess whenever I get around to it 🙂 ————– el suyo era un trabajo realmente pobre de la tajada que hice en ilustrador así que tenía algo que referirme …

Origami octagonal star twist, work in progress Originally uploaded by Origomi. it’s a dragon foot! or something! …. no, it’s actually the first 3 points of an octagonal star twist. this is practice paper, and it’s just testing- I promise I’m normally more precise about this!
