Dodecahedron

Posted by on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 · 4 Comments 

More paper folding fun! I made this dodecahedron (12 pentagon faces, 30 edges, 20 vertices) last night using instructions from this site. I really like the colouring I used – each vertex joins edges of the three different colours so that no two adjacent edges of a pentagon are the same colour. I guess the graph theory in Math 239 has finally come in handy!

    Do you get your paper locally? If so, where? Thanks.

    I get it locally … from Heather’s stack on the kitchen table. I think she gets it from http://www.japanesepaperplace.com" rel=”nofollow”>this store in Toronto.

    Yep, Cecilia, that’s the place. They have TONS of styles of paper to choose from (including some pretty fancy stuff) and they have an excellent selection of books too.
