I originally was going to make these out of modular origami but I realized that working with origami means having to spend hours upon hours trying to make and fit pieces together properly which became to time consume for me.
I went back to my initial sketches and bought a few footballs and tennis balls
I marked the balls properly so that when it came to making the holes that the were precise because I was
using dowel which runs through the middle of it
I arranged them in the way I wanted them to see what it would look like before I assemble.
I engineered I jig that would stop ball from moving about when it came to drilling because the already available machine vices wasn't large enough to in their depth to hold the ball
when I cut the footballs open I lost the air inside kept the balls round shape so I reinforced the inside to the material tot regain that shape, also to make it easier to put the pieces back together
