Abstract
We employ tubular bugle beads to construct aesthetically pleasing skeletal polyhedral sculptures which may contain
nodes with connectivity or coordination number up to twelve. These sculptures can also represent physical models of
nanoscale inorganic structures or octet-truss lattice structures. Starting from a few convex deltahedra as fundamental
building units, a wide range of skeletal structures inspired by the nanoscale world can be built by using the standard
angle weave technique.
