An origami tessellation for the Feast of Epiphany. Single sheet of Gampi paper, no cutting or glue. Wet folding was used for the coma of the Stars of Bethlehem / comets.
This tessellation waited almost a year between the start of precreasing and final collapse. During that time, I reworked the design and was able to simplify it without affecting visual quality. The molecule uses just a 6×6 grid. The base is quite simple: all fun lies in the shaping.
The models which led to this design are: Epiphany II, designed two years ago, and Box with Shooting Star of 1½ years ago.
