This is my thread for Madonna Yoder's #AdventOfTess!

First day: Winter Lights, an easy tessellation composed of closed triangle twists.

Second day, introduction of open triangle twists with this pretty tessellation named Courtship where open and closed twists are dancing together :)

Third day, although it looks a bit similar to yesterday's, today's tessellation introduces double open triangle twists, and includes all three sizes with its pattern. It required a bit of precision in the twists because many triangles ate touching. The name of this one is Gravity Wells.

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 :)

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! 😅
