Project 07 - Open-Back Hexagon Twist
Here it is!. My favorite origami tessellation so far. It's name (as you se in the big text) is Open-back hexagon twist. In the book, by Eric Gjerde, it is a Intermediate project. It is made of a 32-triangle grid on a hexagon.  
As usual tessellations do get a very nice backlight effect so I have a picture on that too.
And this is the back.
And this is when you backlight it.

                          
Robert J. Lang describes origami
In this video Robert J. Lang describes origami from a different way. He tells you about that origami isn't just a simple flapping bird. It is something more, that it is used in science, for satelites, in medicine and more. I think that this video is good because it says that origami can be used in the real world.

Project 03 - Tiled Hexagons
This is the project Tiled Hexagons in the book Origami Tessellations. I've used dubble-sided paper with two colors. The module is made from a triangle grid from a squere. And I think that when you backlight it, it will get a very nice effect.

Between the folds
Here is a ''new'' documentary from Green fuse films who is called ''Between the folds''. Iv'e watched it yesterday and I think that it was interesting. The film is 1 hour long, and I recommend it for you origami interested people. Actually it one of my favourite films. It is awesome!. And I really think that it is interesting because it describes origami from a different way that I like. So watch it! And here is a link to the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE4lqYzS2m0.

Star puff tessellation 32-grid
Here it is! the star puff tessellation. It's a 32-grid and with 19 puff stars. It took me about 2 hours to fold this tessellation, 1 hour only by pre-creasing it. It is desinged by Ralf Konrad, and it's in the book Origami Tessellations only with 7 stars then but that goes to.
