Tesselations

[mrsriggins]

I really want to fold some tesselations and I'm looking for some good ones. Preferably ones that have a pattern that can be made with the creases and nothing else. Anyone know where to find directions on tesselations or some kind of Diagram. I did print the couple tess. vases from lang's site but I would never be able to find these creases without a computer!

As it was said before, http://www.origamitessellations.com/ is a good source. Tessellations can be made from many different patterns, one of the most popular ones is the triangular grid. You learn how to do the grid and from then on, you can do several tessellations just by making hexagons and triangles and squashing them. Here's how to do the grid http://www.origamitessellations.com/

After you have mastered this technique, you can go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/origamitessellations/ and check the pictures, many of those (specially the early ones) you can make just by watching the patterns repeat. If not sure of something just ask the tessellation group discussion http://www.flickr.com/groups/origamites ... s/discuss/
