I've got the new card sheets long back and didn't know how to put them to good use.
As I was watching them, I got the idea of combining them and here it is!!!

I just get turned on for craft just by looking at them. I've never such a paper in such vivid colors. For starts I've got only 4 of them(red, yellow, green and cyan). Now I think I'm gonna get a lot more of them.

This was actually because of a *tiny* mistake I made in calculating. I actually made it cover a head(human, normal sized :P). But it's just a *little* bigger than that.... So it now covers all the stuff on my desk, protecting them from dust and unwanted visitors..... :D

Started from a circle abt 40cm in diameter and the model is 25cm across and 15cm high.

Shifted to a new room in the hostel for the new academic year and still something was missing. A penstand on my desk!! Why go shop when you can create one yourself...??
Diagrams and CP coming soon. Keep checking...

This is by far one of the best models I've made. I'm nearly obsessed with it.... I call it kirigamic representation of an origami tessellation.
It's a new beginning....I'm soon gonna try it out with other tessellations too... :D

Thanks to Kalami for the diagrams here.

This is very similar to this model. In fact, the geometry is exactly the same, but the vertices are turned half way down...

The most tiring job in origami is probably the pre-creasing, especially the hex grid. I've tried to get the hex grid the "conventional way" i.e. using geometry etc..... but the lines became curves and there are hardly any triangles. So I had to get these printed to have more fun...

It's a cute little ball like polyhedron play with. It's even sturdy enough to play catch for quite some time.
Now getting to the geeky stuff about it: It's a 30 piece modular. The skeleton of the structure is a dodecahedron. Each pentagonal face supports a pyramid and hence the puffy shape.
