Pumpkin Patch Tessellation​

This new tessellation is tuck based. There are a few configurations that I gravitate toward when coming up with new designs. One of those is a set of four triangle tucks. This consists of a center triangle with the other three tucked into each of its edges. I'll often use small modules like that as an inspiration point for creating new tessellations. Using the grid and the geometry to figure out what other patterns and shapes will be successful with it.

In the photo of the back view you can see the multiple sets of four triangles that I'm talking about. That simple set was my jumping off point for the entire origami tessellation.

This is a mildly difficult pattern to fold. There are a lot of small tucks, which can be tricky. But, the more you practice those type of folds, the easier they become.

I don't have the crease pattern for this one available at this time. If I'm able to find it, I'll add it later.
