Sometimes you feel like a nut...





Acorn
Created by Beth Johnson
Folded by Michael Sanders
Approximately 7-8” hexagon (lid) and circle (body). Elephant hide.

Folded just over a week ago. I don’t have a whole lot of experience folding from atypical shapes (hexagons, circles) nor in folding tessellations. So this was kind of a new challenge for me. I did enjoy the process of folding the hex tessellation (Eric Gjerde) portion of the model. The underside in particular looks beautiful to me.

This has been on my bucket list since at least 2013. I’m happy to finally check it off. But I’m not satisfied with this first effort and may fold it again someday.
