POLYHEDRA ORNAMENTS

While polyhedra as a geometical construct is well-known, I thought of making ornaments in this fashion on my own. I invested a great deal of time and effort over several years in perfecting my idea. Like everything else in the “Tess Crafts” section, these are not for sale. However, I have similar ornaments in my TessCreates.etsy.com shop.

Dodecahedrons

Cuboctahedron

However, I have similar ornaments listed in my TessCreates.etsy.com shop.
