Flickr Mosaic Originally uploaded by Origomi. I was playing with the flickr Mosaic tool, over at flagrantdisregard. see the link on the flickr post. it’s a great way to take your flickr photos and make a neat mosaic out of them!

I was overjoyed this morning to receive an email from Melisande sharing a bunch of new tessellations she has done. I really like the model (last photo) that has tiny little sampans folded from extra edge flaps! it’s just wonderful. I’m motivated to try some of that myself now! the two whole new pages! are here: http://origami-art.org/gallery/Tessellations?page=4 http://origami-art.org/gallery/Tessellations?page=5 here are some thumbnails:

Un-named star fold, closeup Originally uploaded by Origomi. a flat-crease star model I’ve been playing around with; I like this closeup shot. it’s interesting to me, anyway!

Triangular Waterbomb Tessellation Originally uploaded by gila o. Gila folded this up- it’s a great triangular tessellation. She’d been folding the square waterbomb tessellation earlier, and I guess this was the next one for her to try out!

diagrams are now available for this fold at: www.origamitessellations.com/diagrams/closed-octagonal-twist/
