Paint spiralling geometric patterns with me!
This month I’ve been inspired by vintage pattern books again. You can find my inspiration on the internet archive and it appears to be a pattern from Ravenna Italy published in a german book by Friedrich Hessemer in 1842. Though a search for Ravenna brings up lots of photos of beautiful mosaics I haven’t been able to pinpoint these particular ones.
There are two circular motifs on the inspiration page and in the video I show how to construct both of them, though I only complete the second design in watercolour in the video.
This was a pattern that featured in my Ko-fi membership from April 2025.
