Tesselating

Tesselations

I have long admired the beauty of origami tesselations but, I confess, it is an area of origami that I know little about.
Some time ago Jorge Jamarillo sent me diagrams for a tesselation that he had designed for inclusion in the Spring 2006 Model Collection. Due to an oversight on my part it was not included. At the time of writing I am re-drawing the diagrams for inclusion in the Autumn Collection.
Over the last 6 months or so I have had some half-hearted attempts at tesselating. These have all been rather disastrous because of impatience and inaccuracy on my part.
While lying in bed this morning my head was full of tesselations and I decided that today would be the day when I gave tesselating my full and undivided....
I settled down with a large pot of strong coffee, a 500mm square of strong, thin, white paper and Jorge's diagrams...
	3 Hours and much coffee later I I had completed the basic grid of 4096 identical tiny squares (64x64).
Slowly and carefully I continued folding. I folded and folded and folded and folded and folded and........
	...and folded...
...and folded...
	...until, 7 1/2 hours later it was complete.
My first tesselation!!
