I made this years ago — in 2010 — and just found it today, on Facebook. That was two years before this blog started. I like finding such “lost works,” but it doesn’t happen often these days.

Four Polyhedra Featuring Enneagons
Enneagons are also called nonagons; they are polygons with nine sides. I used Stella 4d to make these four rotating polyhedra, and you may try this program for yourself at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
Tessellation of Blue Triangles and Yellow Concave Pentagons
Alternately, this can be seen as a tessellation of blue diconcave hexagons and yellow triconcave enneagons. Which do you see?
Two Polyhedra, Each Featuring Enneagons and Octagons
I used Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator to make these. You can try it for yourself at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
A Polyhedron Made of Enneagons and Pentagons
This polyhedron has 20 enneagons and 12+60=72 pentagons (of two types) as faces. I made it using Stella 4d, which is available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

Three Convex Polyhedra with Tetrahedral Symmetry, Each Featuring Four Regular Enneagons
In addition to the four regular enneagons, the polyhedron above also has rhombi and isosceles triangles as faces. The next one, however, adds equilateral triangles, instead, to the four regular enneagons, along with trapezoids and rectangles.
Only the last of these three truly deserves to be called a symmetrohedron, in my opinion, for both its hexagons and enneagons are regular. Only the “bowtie trapezoid” pairs are irregular.
All three of these polyhedra were created using software called Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which I use frequently for the blog-posts here. You can try it for free at this website.

Nine (2015) / Nine (2013)
First, the newer version I just made:
Next, the 2013 version, which I recently found, along with a bunch of other previously-lost stuff from around then. The two are simply color-inversions of each other, according to the rules for color-inversion used by MS-Paint.
