@Wolff I made an entire series of transforming, multiplying blends a few years ago.

very similar to your kniveswastika :)

@Wolff I like this one for its faux 3D quality

@Scott :O How did you get the links to interlink?! Oh, I see. The unit cell separation is not on the link, but right between the links. Clever.

@Scott I teach medical PhD students to make graphs and figures. You'd be surprised at how often a Graphic Style or a brush like this is the way to create what they want.

@Vincent yeah that's nice. Reminds me of when fractals were hyped. Remember the program Fractint?

Funny how these images are at the same time very unique and very similar.

@Wolff No, I used EscapeTime :)

Yeah, I tried to break the mold with a sub-series that used a different symmetry. The above one is twelve-fold symmetry, and I also tried nine-fold.

Funny coincidence here: I had been naming the 12-fold symmetry ones with women's names from Greek mythology. Turns out that 12 is a key number in that mythos.

There were 12 Olympian gods, 12 works of Herkales, etc.

So when I made the first 9-fold symmetry, I tried to find a mythos that had 9 as a central number, and found Nordic Myth.

So the 9-fold symmetry ones are named after Nordic mythological women

@Vincent OK, there might be 9 famous women in Nordic mythology (I would've guessed more), but I never realized that the number had special significance.

Nice stuff @Vincent ! 9 actually has a lot of meaning in several religions as well. For the chains.. there are carefully placed breaks and shadows on the pattern tiles to create the appearance of linking....

@Wolff there is way more than 9 women there. I think I ended up making either 18 or 27 of them

@Scott nicely done.
