I’ve been looking at tessellating patterns and decided to try and reverse-engineer a classic; this tiling pattern from the Alhambra palace in Grenada. I visited a few years back and loved it, and took inspiration for this month’s pattern from a very blurry photo I took when I was there – I’ll take better photos if I ever manage to go back again 🙂 You can find lots of reproductions of this pattern online too!
I’ve attached my reference photo here – but there’s a better version on unsplash (a royalty free photography site) by Kadir Celep here.
This was a pattern that featured in my Ko-fi membership from August 2024.
