When conceiving of tessellations sometimes we imagine a pattern that we think will be the front, only to discover that the other side is more wonderful than the one from our original idea. 

It happens to me frequently. 

Of course, it's personal preference and purely subjective which pattern, front or back, that you perceive as most amazing. 

I'm still torn by this one. Each side is beautiful in its own right. 

My original idea is expressed in the second photo. But when I saw the completed back side, I found it to be even more intriguing. 


In my mind, there really are no backs or fronts. Only the shapes and how they inspire us. 

My original crease pattern at the bottom shows how I folded this one.
