Hybrid again

Yes, like mistakes were made, I took two variants of the same pattern and jammed them together. One I had in a book, one I saw online. In any case, it was not too hard to do this, and there were no flaws:

Pencil sketch of Islamic design

Fairly straightforward, as the angles are all 45 degrees. Few swastikas in there as a result, but never mind.

Painted

Then painted it in red and green watercolour

Painted  Islamic design

The end result is a bit dull, frankly. There are too many elements, and it is too square. The version that I did before was woven, and looked a bit better, so perhaps I could do the same with this hybrid version, but not sure if it is worth it.

The green ‘cross’-like shape formed in the middle is quite nice I suppose. Might be good for multiple of those at a larger scale?
