New Origami Tessellation Model

I made a cool new model. The creation process was a bit weird. I first had an idea, what if I made the tessellation I invented before and make a diagonal square grid. That turned into this:

Looks interesting but way too similar to the last one which was this:

Next I was wondering what If I did the same outwards pattern using hexagons on a triangle grid. Things got very messy and interesting fast. Because of the way hexagon twists function there's a strip on the side which you can neutralize in a couple ways but that would defeat the purpose of the pattern. The next best thing is to keep folding using the leftover crumpled paper, I decided to make it zig-zag by spinning the hexagon twist clock-wise/counter-clockwise.

Next I was really hoping to make a bigger version of this, half aware it wouldn't work. This is the doubled grid using A3 format paper.

After a certain point there were just too many corners layered on top of each other, biggest problem with this is it causes a distance shift at the inner corners of the hexagons. More layers= bigger shift. technically this model would be possible if the paper was way thinner but It would be more prone to ripping.

This still looks really nice but not what I wanted. Maybe I'll come up with something else that works.
Thank you for reading :)

They look awesome. Must take some patience, I'm sure.

Patience probably, time not that much after some practice :D

Muy buena pieza ;) tessellations

They look kind of like limpets! You could make an ocean aquarium :D

They really do :D
That's a good idea, I might

It looks very sophisticatedly made and so pretty @ivan-g. At certain angle, it looks like a tortoise and at another, it looks like a pagoda :)

Thanks :D kinda does look like a pagoda. maybe I should try a turtle with that patter on top :O good idea.

Ooo can't wait to see :)

These are really cool. They look like the spiky spiral sea shells.

Yeah, thanks :)
