Hi guys I’m back from the dead–medical/graduate school is much. I’m debating whether or not to migrate to Instagram but we’ll see.

Uncovered Treasure designed by Ben Parker | reverse engineered|folded by

A deceptively simple pattern. First post in three months because I have to be a functioning adult now (I just graduated college!). 

Nouveau designed by Joel Cooper | reverse engineered|folded by

It’s been a while, and I’ve been very busy getting ready to graduate this spring (hard to believe considering I started this blog during high school). This was my winter break project, and is a design I’ve wanted to do for a while.

Square Tessellation of Dodecagons #3 designed by Alessandro Beber | instructions|folded by

I liked this design so much that I folded it on a massive sheet of glassine. It’s nowhere near as neat as Alessandro Beber’s version, but I tried my best.

Wow a double a post–this design is from the same booklet I ordered a long time ago, would recommend.

I’ve returned from the dead yet again with another tessellation, this one of my own design. I’ve been under a lot of stress recently because of graduate school applications but I’m also in the middle of IOIO 2018 so look out for more posts!

I know it’s been a while, I’ve been working and getting ready for graduate school applications.

Square Tessellations of Dodecagons designed by Alessandro Beber | instructions|folded by

I actually bought the booklet a couple of years back and never folded anything because I didn’t think I could figure out the crease pattern, and look at me now.

Making the grid for these is really tricky because it’s a mixed square/triangle grid on a dodecagon, but the results are definitely worth it.

Just Rhombii designed by Joel Cooper | instructions|folded by

Getting all the intermediate stages to lie flat was a pain, but the result is significantly cleaner.

Petals designed by Catherine O’Mary | reverse engineered|folded by

Clean and simple, just the way I like it.

Bagan designed by Ilan Garibi | reverse engineered|folded by

This one was fun since I haven’t done a square grid tessellation in a while.

Tessellation designed by Timur Menyalschikov | reverse engineered|folded by

I had to break out the elephant hide for these flowers.

I also wanted to try organizing my tags a bit (i.e. sorting things by type, whether or not there are instructions, grid size, etc.) but that’s also a work in progress.

Jose in zig zag designed by Robin Scholz | reverse engineered|folded by

Get ready for the photo dump cause I’m finally home for break. Some of these are folds I’ve done over the semester but never got around to posting because school is hard ;-;

Suncatcher 8 designed by Joel Cooper | reverse engineered|folded by

I really like the backlighting on this particular flagstone.

Been a while since I broke out the elephant hide.

Water Webs designed by Mark | reverse engineered|folded by

Ever since I saw this tessellation, it’s been a dream of mine to fold it on a larger grid. Over the summer, I finally found the time and paper to do it.

Sorry for the lack of updates–I’m taking 21 credit hours this semester and I both work in a lab and have a tutoring job, so I’ve had little to no time to fold or post ;-;

I know it’s been a while since my last post, but school has started up and has begun the process of killing what little time I have. This book is a really good investment though–I highly recommend it!
