Designs by friz
I'm interested in solid geometry (polyhedra, 4-dimensional polytopes) and algebraic varieties (curves, surfaces) and I like to create models of these complex objects. Feel free to ask me also customized designs, for example a polyhedron with given dimensions and features. A polyhedron can be realized in different ways, like ball-and-stick style, solid faces, Leonardo-style, curved edges, and so on. Any one of these objects can be also equipped with a ring and transformed into a pendant or a keyholder. Numbers or labels added to any (suitable) polyhedron turn it into a die.

IMPORTANT: Sort the items by "newest" to see the latest things!

Nearly all models are available also in the new colors. Ask in case.

A 16-sided die based on an isohedral "skewed in-out" dipyramid. The faces are identical scalene triangles. Numbering 01-16.
 
Added an octagonal frame on the equatorial plane to prevent the die from landing on the "flat" edges (e.g. 12-06, see image).

A 16-sided die based on an isohedral "skewed in-out" dipyramid. The faces of the base polyhedron are identical scalene triangles. The numbering follows the hexadecimal digits 0123456789ABCDEF. The outer polyhedral shell is supported by an inner stick cross.

Added an octagonal frame on the equatorial plane to prevent the die from landing on the "flat" edges (e.g. D-9, see image).
