This is the 'Spreading Hexagons' tessellation, by Eric Gjerde.

I folded it from 200gsm watercolour paper coated with cyanotype chemicals.

It sat outside almost five days.

Long exposure pushes cyanotype blue into a golden-greenish blue instead.

I like how the edges of the folds have described a multiplicity of hexagons.

Origami is cool.

Sometimes you make things for sheer curiosity.

I've been trying tessellated origami forms for a while. This one is appealing as it is easy to fold and fun to play with.

I folded it from a sheet of watercolour paper coated with cyanotype.

It went outside for a day or so.

When developed, it looked like the final picture.

So now I know. Curiosity sated. Until next time.
