Folding Under Pressure

Tetrahedra

I have been a fan of the Japanese art of paper-folding, or Origami ever since I could remember. There's just something about the concept of turning a simple piece of paper into an art form that intrigues me. It is a form of relaxation that I enjoy as well to escape from work's pressure from time to time. Thanks to my Dear who got me a book by Rick Beech entitled "The Origami Handbook", I tried my hands on one of the more complex design yesterday. It is called a five intersecting tetrahedra. I particularly liked the fact that its construction involved units interlocking with one another and did not require any adhesive. It took me about an hour to complete but the self-satisfaction upon completion was totally worth my time spent.
