Small Triambic Icosahedron

Posted by on Saturday, March 22, 2003 · 3 Comments 

I am totally addicted to folding paper and pretty soon origami progress reports are going to take over my blog.

I made this small triambic icosahedron yesterday afternoon using 30 Sonobe units and these instructions. Basically it looks like an icosahedron (20 equilateral triangle faces) with a small tetrahedron on top of each of the faces. This polyhedron is also called the first stellation of the regular icosahedron.

    Your latest origami venture looks very Easter-y… Festive! It’s always nice to have a procrastination technique, especially one that gives you pretty things at the end. P.S. How’s the sweater coming?

    I made one of these babies on Friday at the library! Great minds think alike, I suppose. To put it in the words of my friend Scott, that is Totally Awesome.
