This 13-sided, turtle-shaped polygon is the second known example of an “einstein,” a single shape that can be tiled to cover a plane with a pattern that never repeats. The word means one stone in German.
This origami version is folded from a single square piece of paper. You can start to play with the tiling puzzle once you have completed several identical pieces. The crease pattern is in the issue 76, The Fold, OrigamiUSA website.

Advisories: 
  • The model needs a high degree of accuracy for tilings.
