How to fold like a poppy

Inspired by the miura folding technique, as seen in poppy petals, I’m going to fold different objects and test out their possibilities.

To find the right form to experiment I used Freeform Origami, a advanced tool for creating rigid origami structures. This is the folding structure I experimented with. Red lines are valley folds. Blue ones are mountain folds.It folds into a 3Dimensional object

See how it looks in action!
