In this assignment I was inspired by Japanese origami paper patterns and decided to play with repeated patterns of simple geometry.

I altered the hex grid code so that the circles start overlapping and then I added nodes to the connection points. I am happy with the result and wouldn’t mind using this as a wallpaper in my room.
