Sounds like the paper is too thin and/or the glue too watery. Depending on the ink, different glues have different effects on the lines. I use a thick art paper or even thin card, and a non-water-based quick-drying glue such as Bostik. But I have to be careful with laser printers, because Bostik dis...

According to Wenninger, there are 30 pairs of squares. They are diametral or "hemi" faces, so there is no parallel pair. To colour each pair differently would need 30 colours. That makes 6+10+30=46 colours in all. Ouch! Wenninger describes a simpler colour scheme. He uses a simplified set of 5 colou...

Hi, those are beautiful. I wish you all success. What about offering other shapes, such as the stella octangula, rhombic dodecahedron and maybe even small stellated dodecahedron? I have a large-ish model of a small stellated dodecahedron made of shiny golden card that I bring out every Christmas: ju...

While I have little knowledge of "sacred geometry" as a discipline, it seems to me that different teachings, cultures, disciplines, cults, sects, religions, whatever, have different figures which they regard as sacred.
