The latest issue of the newsletter from Wolfram Research (the folks who,
among lots of other cool math-y things, bring us Mathematica and Mathworld [
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/]) has a link to an article in their
"community" website with instructions for building two polyhedra from
origami: "Spikey" (the Mathematica V1 logo, which  "consisted of the spiked
solid obtained from an icosahedron - the regular 20-faced solid that is one
of the five Platonic solids - with regular tetrahedra (triangular pyramids)
affixed to its faces.") and the Wolfram|Alpha logo (a rhombic
hexecontahedron).

The newsletter is online here:

and the community article is here (with very nicely done photo-diagrams):

They both look like fun for the polyhedrally-minded out there.
