This is a gingerbread version of the sphere. You cut out and weave just as described for Sphere #001. Start at the pole with the flower. When you have weaved the sphere and fixed the small triangles two and two at the other pole with a little glue, pull the strips gently so that the pattern lines up and the hole (nearly) closes. Do not despair if the lower hemisphere is not quite as pretty as the upper. Lining up is difficult. Cover with a circle in the size that fits best. A pair of tweezers is nearly a must. Don’t attempt fixing the strips in the exact pattern as you go along, the sphere will be bulky and impossible to line up in the end.
This is a -.pdf file for cutting. sphere 002 pattern

Oh goodness, these are INSANE!
I am very grateful you set me on the track. Now I know the principle variations are only limited by time.

Amazing, but I have to try! Thank you for sharing the file, I just wish I knew how to get it into my Cameo.
Thank you! But that is not difficult at all.
When I want to cut something from one of the pdf(vector)-files I include on the blog (“cut-files”) , I do like this:
I open a new document in Inkscape (free software) (A4 landscape usually). Then I IMPORT the pdf-file I want using highest resolution. Move it to the centre of the paper. This I save as a dxf-file “Using ROBO-master type of spline output”. The dxf-file I then open from Silhouette Studio. I set the paper size and “make” the lines to move them into the sheet. If it is to be very elegant I may select everything, “release”, remove the frame introduced, and “make” again. I may also rescale. Them I cut. The finished file I save as a studio-file to use again sometime. Lene
Thank you for the tips on how to get the .pdf converted into .jpeg for my Cameo. It worked great, and I now have a beautiful bauble to show for it!
Thank you for letting us know about your success. We greatly appreciate hearing about this. Lene
what is the pole with the flower?
The sphere has two poles (the round sections where you start and where you end the weaving process). The two poles are alike for Sphere #001. For Sphere #002 the two poles are different due to the pattern of the arms. Look at the picture, and you will see a red flower like shape on one sphere and an orange more pointet shape on another. Look also carefully at the arms. Their ends are also different. You should start the sphere turning the arms so that the rounded end fits the flower like round piece. Lene
Thank you. Turned out great 🙂
