For more than a year, I looked for ways to conquer metal, maybe
the strangest material to choose for folding.
As far as I know, this is the first and only full metal tessellation, folded
by hand.
Very shiny, and provides uses (such as outdoor) not easily available
with paper.
I once tried to fold from beer cans the metal of which is very thin
(http://papirfoldning.dk/da/ugensfold/2011-17.html).
However, it turned out that you can only fold a given crease a couple of
times before it begins to rip.
Presumably your material is more durable to folding, but will also begin
to rip, as metal does.
Can you say more about the metal you use: alloy, thickness, how many
times may it be folded, ...
And yes, I would love to see one of your and Gadi's "paper" reviews
here. Some result of course will be much different from your normal
reviews. Complex models? Wet folding?
Best regards,
