 The tessellations shown are mostly of what I term as of final, 'finished' examples, designed, drawn and coloured (generally of watercolour) by hand, and not a computer. These are essentially the product of a systematic study, which frequently belies various complexities that of necessity require a thorough approach. Also included are some that are best described as 'studies', of which, for various reasons, I have simply not found the time to complete as finished examples. These are thus simply denoted as ‘study’. Generally, but not always, the 'finished' and 'study' tessellations are accompanied by some explanatory text, whereby the various ‘intricacies’ behind the tessellation are discussed. In addition, each drawings colouration is discussed. The tessellations are so placed into distinct groupings as according to their motif, i.e. of birds, fishes ... as appropriate, with any further subdivision, due to there being so many examples of a specific motif (primarily of the bird examples) are thus put into arbitrary subcategories for the sake of general order.
At long last, the site was updated and rebuilt 11 September 2009, the first update since November 2005. Previously, the site was somewhat awkward to update (hence the hiatus), but with the advent of Google sites (which I wholeheartedly recommend), updating is now a breeze! So, look forward to much more to come, at regular intervals. Correspondence is welcomed. All images and text copyright David Bailey 11 September 2009 |
