In recent months I have come to appreciate 3D paper pop-ups as a form of papercraft. One of my favorite pop-ups is this one based on Relativity, a 1953 lithograph by artist M. C. Escher. This glue-less pop-up was built out of a single sheet of standard size cardstock by Flickr member Bryan Peele. If you are interested in building one yourself, Bryan's template for the pop-up may be found here.

Geometric Paper Models With Plane Filling Motifs
What makes these geometric paper models interesting is not so much their actual shapes, but the motifs that decorate their surfaces. These models and the plane filling motifs that cover them are the work of German artist Michael Albers. Plane filling motifs (sometimes referred to as "tessellations") are defined as a collection of identically shaped figures that interlock to fill a plane with no overlaps or gaps. Alber's tessellations are strongly reminiscent of some of the works of artist M. C. Escher. Fifty-nine different paper models are available for download at Alber's web page here.
