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.
