A variation on the popular soccer ball. It's great to see a new shape... and a shape that seems difficult to create. I would never guess that those surfaces would remain flat. I bet it looks cools when the sun shines through and blends the different colors. I'd like to see this up close. Would be a good classroom project.

Reminds me of my high school days playing Dungons and Dragons.

Now you need a 4, 6, and 20 sided line art pieces too..

I like the use of 1 pattern vice the 2 that are required for a soccer ball.
