There’s been a lot of “nano-tessellations” folded on the Origami Tessellations group on Flickr lately; Joel Lorenzo Marchi started this madness off a while back, and the ante keeps being upped by various people folding smaller and smaller designs. (See some other patterns from Ralf Konrad, for example.)
But of course Joel came back with this: part of a mask, folded from tiny, tiny pleats, less than 4cm across for the whole piece. Wow. That’s really quite something!
Wasn ‘t it Lorenzo that started the madness with micro stars? If I recall Joel just took the bull by the horns and miniturized the bull, the horns, existence, etc…
was it? my bad… I’ll have to go back and look.
Christine is right. It was Lorenzo that began this trend. check here:

Thank you! I will fix the post right now. My apologies to Lorenzo for erasing him from history!
