Ok, so may be they don’t look exactly like sardines, but I thought the carrot or dibber shapes were packed in like sardines! This is another pattern based on the ceiling stonework in another of the niche tombs in Norwich Cathedral. As you can see from the inspiration photo below, the pattern can be mirrored along the top horizontal axis. That said, there are lots of ways to break this one apart to get different variations.
A fun tangle, Neil! Love it. Nice to get inspiration from our ancient Gothic architecture. I think they look just like sardines all packed in the tin!
i love this. I get lots of inspiration from architecture for my patterns.
