The tiniest of sculptures, a beaded bead made with 270 seed beads all stitched into one hollow dodecahedron. I call this a Conway Bead because it’s based upon a portion of a 4D object composed of tetrahedrons and prisms that I read about in his book “The Symmetry of Things.” Like many 4D polytopes, we can build a part of them in 3D without too much distortion. I wrote a tutorial on how to make Conway Beads if you’d like to learn to make your own, including 2 sizes larger than this one. #mathart
