Decorative Disks - Bucky Balls

Three dimensional molecules like fullerenes (Bucky Balls), see thing:12675, can be converted to 2 dimensional patterns by projection onto a plane. Projections are like shadow silhouettes. Atoms (spheres), become circles and bonds (cylinders), become rectangles. When symmetrical molecules are projected atoms shade one another and interesting patterns are formed.

I took the 15 fullerenes containing 20 to 80 carbon atoms and projected them onto three planes. The 10 most interesting patterns w
