Mathober Day 3: Polyhedron

This prompt is a hard one for me to choose for because I’ve beaded dozens of polyhedra over the years, perhaps more than a hundred. I decided to share my favorite of them all, which is also one of my largest.
I call this one a Crater Moon Beaded Bead.

The polyhedron on the outside surface is a truncated icosidodecahedron (4.6.10). The inside layer is (3.4.5.4), also known as the rhombicosadodecahedron.

You can read all about it and see step photos on my blog: https://gwenbeads.blogspot.com/2017/12/truncated-icosidodecahedron-in-beads.html?m=1

Have a great weekend people.

Beaded bead with golden beads on the outside surface and darker beads on the inside layers. It looks like a moon with cratered holes.
