Robert Lang's article on paper is a good place to start:

Gilad Aharoni also has a well-illustrated article on wetfolding, on his website:

Tessellations just refer to a repeated tiling of patterns, but for some reason is a popular theme in origami. Basically, what you're trying to do is to fold a series of repeated patterns in a sheet of paper.

Alex Bateman has a site on origami tessellations:

Check out the various tessellation links as well.

I just had a look at Christine Edison´s flickr page and was very impressed by some of her tesselations and other models (especially the toilet):
