Sphereflakes!

Vi Hart is at it again.  This time she is playing with different types of symmetry in snow flakes.  We don't have a bunch of beach balls to cut up, so we haven't tried these yet, but the ideas seem good... Before watching the video, you may want to rotate a few things around in your mind as a warm up.


3D symmetry is fun and all, but it's hard to compare to the Mex Hexaflexagon.  If you don't know what we're talking about, check out these posts...


If you don't know Vi Hart, check out this post:

For hexaflexagons read these:
