I enjoy both solving and designing cryptics. Here is a themed puzzle I constructed. Lately I have been working through (and highly recommend!) Māyā’s cryptic collection.

Here is an icosahedron I assembled from Sonobe units.

This model of five intersecting tetrahedra was tricky to assemble correctly, but I am quite pleased with the result.

I learned about it from a blog post on modular origami, along with many other designs, and followed Thomas Hull’s instructions to build it.
