is the pentagon twist existing?

[AdamsSara]

@Rubikorigami Sure, you can do twists with all regular polygons.

I made a 64x64 grid and I have no idea how to find the center :(

[AdamsSara]

@SlipknotVSBieber You can locate the center by folding the paper in half twice.

thx you for posting this video. do you think it's possible to make more than 1(many) hexagon twist but only in 1 piece of paper? thx

[AdamsSara]

@teregtoloh Yes, definitely! In tessellations you put together these basic techniques and repeat them.

I am new to oragami, but these tessalations all make sense, after watching your videos the forms seem to show themselves inside the paper after a number of times

I really like tessellations since I saw some pieces of the great work the origamists made but don't think I could make one(s).

However i now think it is possible for me now, thanks for this easy to understand illustration!
