Fourteenfold design in various rose colours - 29 Apr 2023

Fourteen?

Yes, not 4, 8, 16 or 3, 6, 18 (or 12) but 14. From a design in the classic Sutton book, that looks like:

Original fourteenfold design

Which was far too small to trace directly from the book, so I used the double trace technique (see later post) to blow it up to a more reasonable size.

Painted

The final product I painted in various shades or mixtures of rose red:

The colours are quite nice, but I should have spent more time fixing the geometry at either of the trace steps. The heptagons (7 sided shapes) are particularly poor even if the overall geometry is not too bad. Good, but could be much better.
