This rather strange object is sold as an inspirational toy called the 'ball of whacks'. I plan to take a few pictures of it over the next weeks to display it's surprising versatility and to practise my own photo composition.

Technically when assembled like this the shape is a regular rhombic triacontahedron. This means it has 30 identical rhombic sides; each of these sides is a magnetised piece that looks like this (obviously rhombic side down)

and is called a Whack (by its creators not by anyone else) and thus ball of whacks for the whole thing
I'm looking forward to seeing your creations. That stuff is awesome.
ReplyDeletep.s. I'll save a "whack off" joke for a better time.
