Kaleidocycles Set by M. C. Escher

This is a beautifully illustrated boxed book and gift set with 17 Fun-to-Assemble Three-Dimensional Models by Maurits Cornelis Escher (The Author)

A Kaliedocycle is a three-dimensional ring made from a chain of solid figures enclosed or bonded by four triangles. These kaleidocycles are adaptations of Escher's two-dimensional images of fish, angels, flowers, people, etc., transformed into uniform, interlocking, three-dimensional objects whose patters wrap endlessly. Kaleidocycles contains a 48-page book with over 80 reproductions and diagrams, assembly instructions, and a fascinating discussion of the geometric principles and artistic challenges underlying Escher's designs and their transformation to three-dimensional models; and seventeen die-cut, scored, three-dimensional models (11 kaleidocycles and 6 geometric solids) all in a Boxed Gift Set.*Ages teens to adult. 1250
