TR,

Thanks! FYI, I used two area_illuminate area lights and in-POV luminous 
color bleeding for this render. The model is not that good; I slapped it 
together much too quickly :/

I modeled this after one I have sitting on my shelf. I agree, making 
things like this is relaxing, and figuring out new ways to hook them 
together is also fun :)

If you find a way to match the edges of the triangles in POV, let me 
know. I've been busting my head all afternoon trying to figure it out! 
Edge matching would allow me to make some more interesting forms, like 
Escher-esque wicker baskets ;)
