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

Pineapple Tessellation, Ilan Garibi || 28x28 square grid on 20.00 x 20.00 || Instructions

definitely no way i divided a square into 7ths lmao i started with 9″ paper and cut off 1/8 to get the 7ths. 9″ times 7/8 just happens to be extremely close to 20cm

i had to put water on this thing for the folds to hold since i used construction paper and it wasnt very good for folding and also my creases werent strong enough / were sometimes in the wrong directions

Creation: To create a new molecule (for a Classic or a Recursive Tess) all that’s needed is to follow two pieces of advice: Dare and Play. Dare to doodle with paper, grid it, mold it, and then try again. And again.

Hilula by Ilan Garibi.

Apparently, ”Hilula“ is a Hebrew word that means the joyful celebration of the death anniversary of a Tzaddik (a righteous spiritual master).

To diagram and teach a tessellation I choose the Way of the Molecule. By teaching only one, it is simple to understand, diagram and fold.

“8 Pointed Flowery Star” designed by Ilan Garibi. Folded by Annalisa from a 15 cm square of variegated kami and a 7.5 cm square of regular kami. Diagram by Ilan Garibi is available here courtesy of OrigamiUSA.

This star reminds me quite a bit of this Scheestern by Carmen Sprung, but once again we discover how entirely different fold sequences can have similar results. I like how Ilan Garibi’s design is actually a base for you to play around with. That why, when I made the smaller version, I decided to just slightly curl the flaps instead of squashing them. It’s not that much of a difference, but I think it gives a surprising amount of motion to the star. I love being able to experiment with designs like that.
