    Ignite geometric wonder with the Pyro-Balls featuring Andrea Hawksley's 6-Card Ball Design by Sly Designs

    Assemble six precision, pre-cut playing cards into a compact, interlocking spherical polyhedron that conceals a stunning secret: an elegant dodecahedron clearly visible at its core.

    Created by mathematical artist Andrea Hawksley, this clever design uses just six cards—each ingeniously representing two faces of the underlying regular dodecahedron—resulting in a structure with pyritohedral symmetry (a fascinating subgroup of icosahedral symmetry, blending full dodecahedral beauty with pyrite-like distortions). The result is a mesmerizing, soccer-ball-like orb that's both a visual delight and a subtle mathematical puzzle.

    No glue, no tape—just slotting and interlocking folds that click satisfyingly into place, revealing intricate patterns and a harmonious, display-worthy sculpture from every angle.
