This is a fractalized version of my Propellers Tessellation. Stacked Propellers Tessellation is folded from a 16×16 grid per molecule in this case but you can go on and on stacking one propeller on top of another if you use a larger grid.

Elephant Hide paper painted teal with metallic acrylic paint.

This first fold of the design only comprised one molecule, but later I folded a full model with multiple molecules.

I found a similar pattern designed by Ilan Garibi, called Bagan (I’ve also seen the name Pagodas used by others for Ilan’s model).
