Electra Icosidodecahedron

Electra Icosi- what?? That's exactly my reaction when I saw the name of this piece of art. Luckily this modular origami ball is much easier to fold than to pronounce. It only takes some time to assemble it. Especially when you make two of them, one smaller than the other.

There are 30 units needed to complete one ball. I used paper seize 4 x 4 cm for the outer pink ball and a seize 2 x 2 cm for the inner yellow ball. Inside the yellow Electra there are some red beads on a thread. I thought that would make a nice contrast with the yellow. And it would, had I made the Electra's a bit larger so you could actually see the beads :-)
