I'm impressed. Very impressed. Yours is the clearest way to plan and make a 'geodesic' dome. It doesn't seem very hard.

Problem. I have been heaving every box; now I will have to save them. How will I ever make up my mind. (wink)

DRAT! I'm just sorry we binned that load of IKEA boxes last week!

Great instructable - and your dedication to decorating this just-so is remarkable. Lovely work.

I'm impressed. Very well done, both craft-wise and as a mom. You have discovered what heaven really is like.

I haven't seen any of your other ibles, but if they're as creative and complete as this one, put 'em together and WRITE A BOOK! Very creative and your kids seem to be totally enchanted with it. Good job.

How big is this thing? I would love to make one for myself as a reading area.

Really cool! Good instructions as well. Maybe if I get some extra time I will try...

I see a gryphon and have one thing to say FOR THE HORDE.

on a more serious note, i really like your design. i am thinking of scaling it up and using velcro so i can make something like this for an ultra portable emergency-type shelter.

an EMT shelter- smart idea,,if I may be so bold as to add to your idea Sir,

one could use 2 inch silvered(one side) foam, fiber glass each section trapping in an industrial velcro 'A' as a flap. 'B' glued onto the corresponding piece, the whole thing would weigh maybe 5 pounds, tape the outside with silver tape

would make a very sturdy quick shelter, for either hot or cold, rain, the base might be problematic, still a great idea,

good luck with this

fabulous where did you get the original design can you post a website? I wish I has seen this when my kids were little.
