Nolan-Andreas_Rose-CP.pdf

This is the crease pattern for JC Nolan's Andrea's Rose. There's an instructional video available here, but I think looking at crease patterns is intriguing. JC wrote about the crease pattern:
The basic crease pattern shows up after the first level of sinks. For the second level it rotates 45 degrees and reduces by sqrt(2)/2 (to about 72.5%) and superimposes on the first. From then on it's easy, as this combined pattern simply reduces 50% each iteration and superimposes on the previous.
