This is a tessellation of the molecule which I first used in Lucky Star Box and which I later extended into Lucky Star Fractal. As I learned after the fact, the fractal version of the molecule had been independently designed by several others before me, starting with Shuzo Fujimoto. Halina Rościszewska Narloch (Haligami) called her version Day and Night Tessellation since one side resembles stars and the other one suns.

I folded this model from a sheet of blue, hand-made abaca and flax paper created by John Gerard paperworks. You can find my review in a separate blog post.
