It seems as though Professor George W. Hart had a lot of time on his hands to create this papercraft puzzle. Called 'Frabjous,' the papercraft is made out of 30 pieces of interwoven cardboard pieces.
Apparently this crafty professor made a PDF file for the rest of us to try to attempt to make one of these intricate papercraft puzzles.
Implications - Artists often explore various materials and media to create awe-inspiring works. One of the popular products used recently is paper -- and not just origami.

This, in turn, has sparked a craze in paper projects and a resurgence of papercraft books, which are inspiring DIY-ers to try paper crafts of their own.
