Oh dodecahedrons!

One day I promise I will read instructions, think things through logically, follow said instructions and come out with the required result!  For now, my 'ball' is actually a greater-spotted dodecahedron!  It seems to have gone down a treat with my 3 youngest critics, so I'm happy with that!


I unpicked the wonky whipstitching, and whizzed round again (equally as wonky) with 3 strands of embroidery silk, but didn't really pay attention to the ridges I was creating.  Hence there was no slack to flatten out the seams when I was done.  Ho hum... live and learn!

  1. Ooh ... love it .. they're a bit addictive those dodecs! I've got a flickr set ... you might want to try the isocahedron next ... it uses triangles!! (it's in the geeky nerdy craft set) You'll find the template in my platonic solids set ... heh heh heh
