Infinity flagstone

Finally done, after 1.45 AM :P, I'm not so proud of this cause the triangles on the back are very ugly made...maybe one or two are real triangles :(
but I think is for the small grid and something like that, and for my lack of precision... hope you like it, I'm not going to put the process and the back of this tess on flickr cause of my lack of space (only 4 photo).
I hope to improve my flagstone folding skills :)

I think it turned out beautifully, Lorenzo! very good!

The laser-cut paper, at least with the 5mm grid, is very hard to use for triangle folds- this is a problem.

This is a really great pattern, though, and quite fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing it!

It is a perforated paper?

EricGjerde says:

well, it's kind of perforated, but more than anything it's engraved- you can see some of it backlit here.

I think that this tessellation is rather special. It shows that the flagstones need not match edge to edge. This means at least to me that these tessellations are a departure from the more traditional tiling/dual type designs. I am still searching for the theory of everything for origami tessellations and these present a really nice expansion of the universe :)

Thanks
Alex

Thanks Alex, I and Peter are working on some starting point for that theory too, This is basically a 6.3.6.3 tessellation with meta polygons, I mean the hexagon is divided into other polygons, I like to explorate this kind of technique, it's rather unique and satisfying! thank you for the nice comment and feel free to share your theory of everything, I'm really interested :)

Hi Marta, this is 18cm from side to side, 5mm grid, paper kindly gave me by Eric, it's laser cutted so no need to be prefolded but not the best paper to make this kind of things...before folding...hmmm I don't remember but a little bigger than A4, I think something like 29x29cm ...should ask Eric... :D

be sure to check the next photo in my photostream for the CP.

Yes, it's less than perfect paper, somewhat difficult to fold in this manner. It was the first attempt at the laser cutting process.

I believe it was originally 17 inches by 22 inches, or something along those lines- 43cm x 55cm, according to my calculator. Possibly I cut some of it off the end, so maybe it was shorter, I am not sure.
