Tessellations and Fractals

Yesterday night I first tried the model on a triangle grid with 16 pleat divisions to get a feel for how to do the model. I then moved to transparent paper, and had this stupid idea of doing a triangle grid 64 pleat divisions instead. Hours later... this is the result. This is what robs my sleep!

Paper: 19.5cm square of transparent paper

Guess what the newest addition to my small origami library is? Yes, indeed! Finally, there's a book on tessellations! I received the book yesterday, and have keenly explored it. And: it is fantastic. I'll look into making a video on some tessellation techniques in the future. Many thanks to Eric Gjerde for making such a fantastic book on an area that really needed a good book on it.

With backlighting, you can see that towards the middle of the model more and more layers of paper lie on top of each other.
