I just found this on Facebook. I made it two years before starting this blog.

Two Pentadecagonal Mandalas
A Dodecahedron, with Mandalas
The mandala used here first appeared in this blog-post. I then used Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator to put those images on the faces of a dodecahedron. If you’d like to try this program yourself, you can do so, for free, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

A Rhombic Dodecahedron Decorated with Golden Mandalas
To make this, I used Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator to take the image I blogged here, and then project it onto the faces of a rhombic dodecahedron. Next, I put that polyhedron into motion for the .gif shown below.

Golden Mandala
This decagonal mandala is split into fifty golden triangles (shown in yellow), and forty golden gnomons (shown in orange).

Eight Mandalas in Orbit
The mandalas on the eight hexagonal faces of this truncated octahedron were first seen in the blog-post immediately before this one. The six square faces have been hidden, creating holes in their places.
I used Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint to make this pattern, based on a ring of twenty-two hendecagons. The work of projecting this image onto a polyhedron, as well as making this rotating .gif image, was performed using another program, Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator.
