Preparing two pieces of paper (20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24) using square twists.
Curious what happened next? ;-))) Look here.

Have a nice day!

I met Michał Kosmulski at het German Origami Convention and not so long ago he created the "Double Spearhead Tessellation" and I finally found some time to fold it too! (first row, left photo).

I like the backlight versions of this tessellation very much, because you can see so many patterns each time you focus differently. That why I rotated it too, gives a different feel. (first row, right photo).

In the second row you see my variation of this tessellation, called "Neptune scales" . Big thanks to Marguerite-Helene ;-))

Here you can see the beginning: "Blocks"

Both tessellation folded from 20x20cm, glassine, grid 1:24.

Normally when I fold a tessellation I also make one molecule of the pattern. The latest I folded are the "Double Spearhead Tessellation" by Michał Kosmulski and my variation "Neptune Scales Tessellation ".
It took me a while to find the right paper to show you the beauty of both molecules.
In the upper row just one molecule of both tessellations and in the lower row I connected 4 molecules. All folded from 15x15cm sheets of Freudenberger paper, which I also used for the background.

Perhaps you remember my latest tessellation "Blocks" using a square grit and a few diagonals. It reminded of an older idea of mine, so I refolded that in a bigger grid (1:32) and a bigger paper (34cm) and that's why it's called "Big Blocks".
Probably not the first one who had had this idea, but I discovered it by myself ;-)
You can change the motive by changing the position of the dark triangles. I like this tessellation the way it is now, so I will fold another to this stage and add more creases to that one, because what I had in mind is not yet realized ;-)

Can you find where the entrance is?

"Labyrinth" is one of the tessellation possibilities, when adding more creases and folds to Big Blocks. I not ready with 'research' on this pattern ;-))
