A Mandala Made of Hexagons, Enneagons, and Dodecagons

recreational math from 2011

I recently re-discovered this “lost work,” which I made using Geometer’s Sketchpad, in 2011 — before I started this blog, which is why it has not appeared here before.

A Forgotten Mandala, from 2010

Someone found this, and “liked” it, in my old Facebook pictures. I had forgotten all about it, until this happened. It is a mandala, made of rhombi, with nine-fold symmetry, made in 2010 with Geometer’s Sketchpad — two years before I started this blog.

32 Octagonal Mandalas, Rotating in the Dark

Icosidodeca

To create the octagonal mandalas, I used Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint. I then projected them onto the faces of an all-but invisible icosidodecahedron, and created this rotating .gif image of it, using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, software you can try for free, right here.

These are “lost mandalas” I found on an abandoned Tumblr-blog which I started before making my transition to WordPress. The first three were posted there in 2012, and the next two were posted in 2013.
