Made some templates for janggi pieces tonight.

Flock of birds, inspired by the art of Escher. I think this will be my last artwork in this series.

This one uses somewhat the "inverse" tile of previous piece https://mathstodon.xyz/@DaniLaura/114557815147525419 .

Another one more elaborate, with these colours it resembles fire. With other colours could be birds joining into the center.

I have been having fun trying other tiles using scaling r = √(1+1/√2) with octagonal arrangement (see previous post
https://mathstodon.xyz/@DaniLaura/114551594417412855 ).
Using the curved tile we can see in the pictures, the complete arrangement is rather boring (image 1), but subsets of it, when properly coloured, can produce several kinds of flowers, even with bees! (image 2), an ibex head (image 3), or just using the borders a web of a math spider (image 4).

No one is asking the hard questions: #Octagonal in plan or in section?

I for one welcome our #octagonal overlords.

#ufo update - #3 that was spotted in montana last night was shot down a couple hours ago above #lakehuron. #octagonal with #strings but no clear #payload. no #pressconference pending as far as i can tell. #wtf
