Another field of paper folding that I appreciate is tessellation.
It is the tiling of a plane surface (paper) using one or more geometric shapes and creating lovely decorative patterns.
It is not an easy thing to do but the result is well worth it - in pure golden joy!
My most favorite origami tessellated piece is the Hydrangea flower by Mr. Shuzo Fujimoto. A simple looking but exquisitely beautiful work of art.

To fully appreciate this art piece, I have made a short video to document its creation (not a tutorial) from plain paper to flower. And, more importantly, to show the magical geometrical shapes it produces when placed against the light. Tessellated pieces makes good artistic lampshades (awesome lighting effects).
Enjoy!
