Again a nice model today, called Hexagon Double Bar Wells. It has hexagon twists in one side and open triangle twists on the other side. I lacked a little bit of precision for the hexagon twists, as can be seen by the size of the dots inside them on the backlighting view... The close placement of these patterns created some tricky interactions. I can feel the difficulty ramp up already! 😅

I find this one very pretty and I am not sure if black was the best color for it... The range of twists still expands with this one, which uses a central double hexagon twist, six simple hexagon twists on the reverse side, and simple triangle twists on the front. I think the pattern works particularly well!

Woo I really liked today's tessellation, called Wobbly Pyramids! It looks the same on both sides (it's actually mirrored). To achieve this, one has to fold twists on both sides of the paper: it was my first time doing that. It comes with a new kind of challenge: making sure that the paper that you need on one side is not stuck on the other side, and it requires a bit of planning. That was fun! And I really like the backlighting of this one :)
