Really enjoyed this pencil drawing.. a relatively Really enjoyed this pencil drawing.. a relatively simple tenfold star pattern which includes an interesting double sormedhan which appeared in a recent pattern by @zerometry .. not sure whether it appears in historical patterns. I drew the base layout using a set square I made especially for simplifying the process of dividing angles into 1/20s. It turns out there is historical precedent for craftsmen making and using tools like this in Islamic geometry as outlined in the Persian Compendium On Similar and Complementary Interlocking Figures. Thanks to Katya Nosyreva for bringing this to my attention. #geometry #drawing #pattern #design #islamicgeometry #pencil #symmetry #geometric
