Tessellation Garden is a collection of all of my origami tessellation designs, arranged in a portal with sorting by tiling and sorting by twist difficulty and structural complexity.

Siren's Call is one of those.

The ways that variations can be made are kinda endless.
You can change the spacing, switch a twist to the other side, change a position from closed to open or vice versa.
Or, in some cases, you can stick more twists in between the twists in your tessellation!

And to make matters worse, you can't look for 3-fold symmetries around the point in question to decide - they're all going to be 3-fold in either case!...
