I discovered this form while playing with a folded I discovered this form while playing with a folded square grid in a 4:3 rectangle and then drew isometric and one-point perspective projections of it. It is a 'nolid', in that it is a 3D form with (theoretically) no volume. You can see it as intersecting squares or interlocking square-based pyramids. Where two pyramids have a common base you get an octahedron. It's pretty easy to fold and all excess paper folds inwards and holds the structure together. Plenty of interesting stuff to contemplate! #geometry #paper #paperfolding #origami #drawing #perspective #polyhedra #design #isometric #projection
Recently completed drawings of the Kepler polyhedr Recently completed drawings of the Kepler polyhedra, the great (left) and small (right) stellated dodecahedron. In the style of illustrations from the incredible Wooden Books series @woodenbooks in particular 'Platonic and Archimedean Solids' by @daud.sutton Ink on tea-stained paper. These entrancing forms demonstrate the interrelationship between the dodecahedron and icosahedron. #geometry #polyhedra #drawing #ink #star #symmetry #Kepler #3d

The Great Dodecahedron. One point perspective draw The Great Dodecahedron. One point perspective drawing following the method demonstrated by @rafaelaraujo1618 .. the folded piece is made from six woven strips of paper, same as the stellated icosahedron in the previous post but with stellations sunk inwards. I've included other views of this amazing form and some process shots of the woven icosahedra. Quite a finger scrambler, the wooden pegs were essential. #geometry #polyhedra #perspective #drawing #origami #design #geometric #paper #paperfolding
These stellated icosahedra are constructed by weav These stellated icosahedra are constructed by weaving six folded strips of paper together which means that the external vertices lock tightly together with no glue. Connect the external vertices to reveal a dodecahedron. Very clever technique by origami legend Tomoko Fuse. #geometry #polyhedra #weaving #tomokofuse #origami #paper #paperfolding #pattern
