Vann's "Open-Faced Cube"
What: 12 Business Card Open-Faced Cube By: Valerie Vann (and Jeannine Mosely) From: This used to be on-line; if anyone knows where Valerie's modular origami page went, do let me know!
Why:
It was mentioned on the O-list, and looked interesting. It is interesting, if a bit tricky to assemble. I had trouble getting everything to fit, and getting tidy corners. (Plus the biz cards I used were a bit old, and cracked somewhat when I folded them.)
I asked Jeannine about it, and it turns out you have to be careful fitting the tabs inside so that the various pieces don't interfere with each other when you're sliding things together. If you do it right, the corners get tighter, and you don't get the little holes like the ones you can see in the photo.
