What have you folded lately?

Post by **origami_8** » September 3rd, 2010, 8:23 pm

Well, the problem is that the colourchanges come from the upper and lower edges of the paper being folded towards the middle, so the only possibility would be to make a long row of fishes but it is not possible to get them over each other. To tessellate fishes Escher-like you would have to go for a fish version without colourchanges or maybe find a way to fold one of the single piece chess boards into fishes...

With a really long rectangle, you could snake it around and achieve a full tiling. Of course, I don't get why people want everything to tessellate.

Nice fish Stacy.

Well, technically you could fold a long row of fishes into a rectangle arrangement, but that would be terribly inefficient...

EDIT : got interrupted as I was replying, and my post was delayed quite a bit

davew--tant will not replace tissue foil for you. it is simply too thick for many very complex models.

you can sort of fudge things by wet folding at the end.

Thanks for the comments/insights/input

. A long rectangle would indeed be possible but also inefficient, therefor I'm not going to try it.

Wow, what a surprisingly long conversation about tessellating that nice fish!

Heh, it's not like I want everything to tessellate, nor am I into tessellations, I was quite simply curious.

Anyway, again, nice fish Stacy!

I'm only a beginner in origami so I don't know much about color-change. I just thought since Metangas brought up tessellation, it would be cool to see an origami rendition of Escher's paintings.

And firstfold, that is an awesome contraption. Is it manually powered or electrically? I like how they rotate so smoothly.
