Incomparable Icosahedrons

Incomparable Icosahedrons.
That may well be a new tongue twister - try to say it three times real fast!

CZT Angie Vangalis created a template for tangling an icosahedron that is absolutely incomparable.

I ordered a stack of them recently and completed my first one.  It was so much fun that I want to spread the word.

The icosahedron is embossed on a cardstock weight paper approximately 12" x 18" that I found took very well to a Micron.  While Angie has several paper colors to choose from, this is one she calls Torrilla.

I decided to tangle a different pattern in each of the twenty triangular sections.  It was a wonderful project to have sitting on my kitchen table.  Whenever I had a few minutes, I'd add another tangle or two.

This is what it looked like when I finished the tangles ~

After shading, it looked like this ~

The paper is also perforated and pre-cut where the tabs insert.  This allowed me to punch out the shape, fold it, and assemble with ease.  No glue or tape or scissors were necessary.


Here are a few different angles of the finished project ~

Did I mention that this was FUN?!
