Lightyears Origami Tessellation


Here's an interesting tessellation that I discovered recently. It combines several techniques in a different way. There are a lot (and I mean a lot) of triangle and rhombus twists in this one. They repeat in such a way that some small hex twists are created on the reverse side

So on the front you have open back hexagonal twists. Around those you have alternating rhombus and triangle twists. 

This creates some cool negative space twisting stars. 

However, to make it tessellate nicely, I had to add many additional triangle twists. 

Once those get situated that's where the small hex twists come into play on the other side. 


This creates an interesting pattern on the back side as well. Which is rhombuses around the hexagons combined with a nice woven effect. 

It looks like some of the rhombuses are on the back, but they are not. 

The open back hexagsons, all the triangle twists, and all the rhombus twists are on the front. 

The small hex twists are on the rear. 

Since everything is so closed together, it'll take some patience to fold. 

My crease pattern is at the end.
