Infinity Egg
Continuing with the theme of egg-shaped beaded and origami polyhedra, I've completed this beaded egg using Gwen and Florence's Infinity Weave technique:
This "Infinity Egg" measures 1 1/2 inches long, and just over 1 inch wide. It's surprisingly stiff and stable for such a hollow structure. It's a little big for a pendant, but it would make a nice ornament for an Easter Egg tree.
The basic structure is the same as the truncated hexadecahedron that I've wrote about before.
The Infinity Weave is used in three patterns over at beAd Infinitum, starting with the Infinity Dodecahedron and continuing with the Donut and Prisms patterns. I guess that this egg is a variation of both the Dodecahedron and Donut patterns, but the weave is so versatile that there are an infinite number of other possible variations as well.
Happy Easter everyone!
Great work! Happy Easter Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rita! Happy Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy! I'm a fan of the Infinity weave too! I see a challenge in my future!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon :) - You've already done some pretty sweet stuff with the Infinity Weave, so I'm looking forward to what you'll create in the future!
