This pattern is based on a 6th century Sassanian compound twill. I don’t know where that is either, nor what a compound twill is! Roll on the textile teaching later on this term… One tip: start the hearts at the tip – this helps with their placement in the angles.
Tomorrow – three patterns for the price of one, and half way through our fortnight of persian patterns, 7 of 14: ‘Persian Borders’.
Love your designs, easy to follow and very neatly created. Amazing what inspiration we find around us for artistic expression. Thank you so much for researching these fascinating persian motifs and patterns.
This Persian series is really lovely. Thank you.
Your tangles are great!!!
