Variations on Paolo Bascetta's '45Degree Isosceles Triangle Stellation Module'. The after school origami class at Peralta Elementary School worked with this module for several weeks creating stellated icosahedrons, stellated dodecahedrons, stellated cubes, stellated pyramids and a stellated five sided anti prism. We used different papers and color combinations to explore the potential of this module.
