An experiment in Tesselations
0Monday, November 26 by Amanda D.
So... I'm not the biggest fan of tessellations or modular origami, for that matter. I like the image/nature-orientated origami and am not as much into the geometric parts/repetition side. However recently I decided to give it a try with a design I really like. Hydrangea by Shuzo Fujimoto is fairly simple for 3 layers and after several practice rounds I decided to add multiple layers. Here's my model progression.
-traditional 3 layers
-a tiny one with 3 layers
-the whole family, with a pretty pink original
-another 'family portrait'; monochromatic this time
It turned out to be a pretty enjoyable experience. I realized more layers required more paper to work with-- aka larger paper. Although I didn't get up to as many levels in the video, it still was very rewarding :)
