This one was inspired by pictures of the Chrysler Building in New York. I think shading is mandatory to get it to work and not look too busy. Keep your domes tall and their sides straight for best results. I wasn’t careful with my zigzag lines if you were wondering…
Mirrors, door frames, brickwork – art deco had a lot of these motifs! Good for a repeating pattern, or could be used to make a deco border.
This one is reminiscent of UK police force badges… Makes a great centrepiece for a tangle. I found drawing the rays from the centre helped with the spacing.
Inspired by an art deco brick wall, this pattern zings with a touch of shading. The original wall was of blue brick with the brick cluster deepset into the brickwork.
This is another original design – may be similar ones out there – let me know if there is another the same…
An original design which reminded me of the Aztec square pyramid temples. Lots of opportunity to enhance the 3D aspect with shading 🙂
Another original design – squares, circles and diamonds somehow combine into this repeating pattern.
I believe this to be an original design – if only these gems were real!
This design appears in the Houses of Parliament and is part of the interior design when rebuilt in the Victorian era. Similar to ‘Buttercup’.
This tangle pattern was inspired by a Victorian carved balustrade, with the quatrefoil being a hole in the wood panelling.
