Dodecahedron

As a supplement to their math textbook, my high school students are working from Thomas Hull's Project Origami. We are using his PHiZZ units to produce geometric objects. To show them how the units lock together, I made this dodecahedron out of wrapping paper scraps I had at home. I am thrilled with how it came out! The colors kept reminding me of something from childhood, and I finally remembered that these are the colors of the wallpaper of my room when I was little.

This is a beautiful object to hold and turn. I can't help it; I am going to build the buckyball structure next. The students are planning to build something even bigger.
