Hi Tom, as the person in question who made the voronoi diagram you've linked to, there's a pretty good way to go about making them - the method Stephanie Schulze suggested is pretty much how I go about folding them. However, to generate a mathematically perfect set of pleats that (possibly but likely) guarantee flat foldability, you'll need to also fold parallel pleats between your dots and the center creases you make. I divide all these in half, although you can divide again if you wish. This generates all the creases needed to fold the pleats and twist any intersections you so choose. here's a larger model of one that I made a while ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/origomi/6095251677/ -Eric Gjerde
