Green Triskelions - 05 Jan 2023

Celtic Curves

So I bought another Wooden Books - this one on ‘Celtic Patterns’ (by Adam Tetlow, 1904263704) - which let me try out some spiral paterns. This one is a ‘triskelion’ pattern:

It’s just a triple spiral, really. Making it with compasses is a real pain, but doable.

Tiling

Connecting the spirals up into a tiling was a little tricky, but some minor erasing got me to this:
