I’m really surprised to know that people want me to fold straight fold tessellations about the same much as curved. I thought curved to be more innovative and less studied subject, but I do know that some straight fold ones gather more likes and attention. Can you explain why you voted for straight? Because it’s violet? 😆 I suppose no, but I’m really curious to know. Meanwhile it’s a straight thing in motion 🤗 #origami #tessellation #ekaterinalukasheva #corrugation #kinetic #paperdesign #kineticsculpture #violet #squares #foldingpaper #eschermania #paperfolding #papermania #papermagic #おりがみ
