Thank you. I think I got the idea for it when trying to assemble this model of a Rhombic Triacontahedron: http://www.gnu.org/software/3dldf/graphics/rhmtrc_01.pdf The angles between the faces are so flat that it was virtually impossible to to get them aligned just using tabs, which is how I'd originally drawn the plans. I had read a little about pop-up books (in particular, Lothar Meggendorfer's), so I knew that sewing was used for them, as well as bookbinding, and I made the connection. I think sewing and paper are a good combination. It also makes it easier to disassemble models.
