Cube Conundrum Teselado​

This is a fun one. It's a pretty easy tessellation that features a cool finished design.

You've probably seen a few different kinds of twist and or flagstone tessellations that feature three rhombus 'cubes'. I've done some. Lot of other creators have as well.

In this case, I kept it very simple. Three rhombuses twisted around a natural triangle. In order to repeat the pattern just follow the creases created by the original folds.

I chose to leave some space between the repeats. My first instinct was to keep everything close together, but I refrained. I thought it might look nicer with some broader spacing.

But you could easily keep the 'cubes' butted right up against each other for a denser design.

I really like how the reverse side looks back lit. That's often how I feel about purely twist based tessellations.

I have both a crease pattern and a video demo for this tessellation. You can see my other videos by subscribing to my youtube channel.
