Hydrangea by Shuzo Fujimoto

4 layers with 8 inch paper

Hydrangea with different paper sizes

6 layers with 12"x12"

Designer :  Shuzo Fujimoto

Hydrangea is the first tessellation I tried. Nice thing is it requires just one paper.

Reference: 

Paper used: Color printer paper.

3, 4 and 5 layers with 8.5 inch x 8.5 inch

Difficulty:

Moderate, I got confused at couple of folds.

First attempt - 31 May 2013, I folded 3 layers. In the video Sara Adams clearly tells how to get another layer. I got little confused and stopped at 3 layers.

Second attempt - 3rd and 4th June:  I realized how to fold another layer and folded 4 layers and 5 layers.

Finally folded up to 6 layers and framed it.

Printer paper is good to fold, especially slightly thicker paper, not too thick, it becomes difficult to fold multiple layers.
