Tessellations and Fractals

Given that I plan to make a video on a 3-stage clover folding next, I decided I needed to understand the model better. And what better way than to fold a 7-stage clover folding to grasp what it's all about? And this is the result.

Paper size: 19.5cm transparent paper (approx. 7.5in)
Model size: 8.5cm x 8.5cm x 1cm (approx. 3.3in x 3.3in x 0.4in)

The formula for determining which grid to start with depending on how many stages you want to fold is as follows: 6 * (no of stages) - 2
So for a 7-stage tessellation you need a 40-division grid.

What do you do when you buy a new dining table? Of course! Use the paper that protected the wood to fold a tree. And to avoid further questions - no, it was not very suitable for folding.

Initial paper size: 16cm x 27.7cm (approx. 6.3in x 10.9in)
Finished model: 9cm height, 2.5cm diameter of trunk, 9cm max width of palm crown

Update: I was made aware of the fact that Ron Resch discovered this origami tessellation before Eric Gjerde. I have updated the list of designers accordingly.

This model somewhat reminds me of a hedgehog. It's basically a tessellation consisting of many small waterbomb bases.

Paper: 19.5cm square of stiff paper, 115gsm
Model: 11cm x 11cm x 1cm when pressed flat

I was really intrigued by this model, because of its 3-d finish. Apart from having seen faces and such formed from tessellations, I had really associated tessellations with being essentially flat. Another surprise was that you first have to fold spread hexagons, and that model then very easily transforms into the star puff.
