Drawings/constructions of icosahedron and dodecahedron

These icosahedron/dodecahedron constructions are good practice for using compasses, finding perpendicular bisectors etc. Really good instructions here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKuyuZTw8EY

Columbus Cubes

      Columbus Cubes are one of my favourite.  Quite satisfying to make and stack.  I keep meaning to do more with them.  I found these in a book by David Mitchell (his website  is well worth a visit!)  His page about the Columbus cubes is here .  There is also a video on YouTube on how to make them  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u-1a1UFj_k .  There's even a kusudama  to make with them.  That's on the list to do in the future . It has now been done .

Ten Sided Yin-Yang Globe

Back to Philip Chapman-Bell (Oschene).  This is his "Ten sided Yin-Yang Globe".  There are a few versions of this on his Flickr account but the third looks to be the easiest and this is it.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/oschene/6702378705/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/oschene/6702439719 He has put an image of a single unit onto his account and so I used that as many copies on an A4 sheet.  The image of this is here. I have also found this being called "CandyWrap" by DutchPaperGirl on YouTube but it looks to me that she is using the image that Oschene shared originally for the template. 10 units (5 each in two colours) using the template above on A4 creates a model 6cm tall and about the same in diameter.  To me it looks like it can be added to the list of "Festive" makes. :) Dutchpapergirl has a tutorial video here
