Translucent Design (CFW 55)

This tessellation, designed by Shuzo Fujimoto, is almost identical to my John Lackland Tessellation except for using petal folds instead of simple valley folds for decoration in the four corners of a molecule.

This design is very similar to CFW 328 and it took me while to figure out they were two separate designs and how they differed since Fujimoto’s books don’t contain any instructions or crease patterns but only low-quality images of the folded models in back-light. The key to telling the two tessellations apart is the square in the center of the flower: in CFW 55, it is visible in the top layer, while in CFW 328 it is visible only in back-light.
