But What Do You DO With Them?

These are little baskets made out of gelli prints. Someone posted a question about making these in a FaceBook group page of gelli printers. I was curious too so I spent a day (a full day!) sorting the math and once I figured out I wasn’t dealing with circles but rather, dodecahedrons, I worked it out! (Thank you Mr. Ferrier for the algebra and Mrs. Fedora for the geometry).

Pic one is three of them, or rather two baskets and one in the process. Pic two is the best little one I made on stiff canvas paper. Pic three is a larger one (another, shorter, round of math) printed on light canvas. I gave that to my wife for Valentine’s Day. Fun project but they take a large amount of time to print, dry, cut out, assemble. If I were to sell these they would have to go for about $200 to pay for the time. And then, what do you DO with them?
