Twelvefold stars

From Samira Mian's 2023 archive, March. I started to attempt the full tiling but gave up and went back to tracing and tiling. Variation C if you're reading her instructions. Had bought a few new paints in some of my favourite colours and I'm quite happy with them.

More sixfold stars

I had such a good time with the sixfold stars pattern that I had another go. There's so many different variations....I'm sure I'll be giving it yet another go soon. I've done this one so often now, I know how to do it off by heart!

Sixfold stars

Loving this sixfold stars pattern from Samira Mian's July 2022 archive. It's a relatively easy pattern to draw and there's so many ways in which it can be modified to make different patterns.

Not terribly sure about the results at the end of the day. Still prefer my original go at it. All from one of... Continue Reading →

A curvilinear design

Something slightly different. A departure from the usual stars and diamonds, this is a pattern from the Gur e Amir mausoleum. The February 2022 pattern from Samira Mian's archives. This required more use of a compass...I ended up using 3 different compasses as I needed one to take a softer pencil and I prefer to... Continue Reading →

A pattern from India

Another pattern from Samira Mian's archive. This time it's Qila-e-Kuhna Masjid Delhi. Again, a relatively simple construction but I made a mistake with the tiling first time around. A step was missing from the PDF instructions and I then had to go to the recording to see what I'd missed. I started off using yellow... Continue Reading →
