Pattern Study #1

I have taken it upon myself to learn about the beautiful patterns indicative of various cultures.  Today's study comes from the region of southern Africa.  The image below is loosely based on the four-square pattern called tema Malente. This pattern is normally found in mural decoration.  I wish my skills could reflect the perfect symmetry represented in the works of female artisans from this particular region.  But I will learn with time.

    @Tamara- Thanks for the compliment. I'm going to keep trying and trying.

    @Liz- This would be a cool concept for an accent wall. When do you want to start designing? Also, thanks for the compliment.
