Rick, I was refreshing my memory as to what tessellations are by rewatching this video. This time I saw another kind of rounded-corner box shape that is also a tessellation made of the 3 paradox ginkgo leaves. Then there’s another of 6 ginkgo leaves, 3 pointing toward the center and three point out. Now o want to look for more on my own creation. Thank you to you & Maria for your constant inspiration.
Wow, wow, wow. This tangle never ceases to amaze me with the contortions and mind blowing results that emerge. Rick, you sure are addicted to this one! Love watching the 'reveal' from your heavy outlines - magic!
I remember the littleplastic thingies too. I love the patterns and shapes that emerged here. I am just beginning to explore paradox and found this - it's fascinating.
What a blast from the past. I just found a small box with those little yellow 45 rpm adapters. We called them spiders due to the little legs, but I'm sure they had a proper name. Thanks for the relaxation.
The more I see and work with Paradox, the more I love it! I can’t wait to try this! And I, too, remember those little plastic things that fit into a 45 record👵🏻😁!!
Wow, Rick I simply LOVED that whole conclusion where you discovered the tesselation shapes and how the two sides had the same triple shape. Super interesting, thank you for that food for thought. Very very cool
I was so intrigued with this, that I ordered a compass online, but since I can't wait for it to arrive, I decided to do this the hard way, with a plastic template of circles of various sizes that I use for my jewelry making. So I chose one size, and followed your instructions, and with a lot of practice, I was able to replicate what you did...it took more time, it's not as precise, but I had a lot of fun doing it. talk about having a zen moment, I got so focused on getting it right, that everything else cleared my brain! I got a page done (5x7 sketch paper), and although they probably aren't perfect, I learned how to do this without the compass! what a blast this is!! Now to move on to the paradox. thank you!!
Loved the part where you referred to those little plastic thingies that you inserted into 45's - no idea what their proper name is, but I too remember them well :-) Thank you for the mini-memory trip, and all the inspiration!
It is a combination of the compass and pencil that is in the Alvin Drawing Set No. 729JS www.amazon.com/Alvin-729JS-Combination-Universal-Speed-Bow/dp/B004CZ0K1S/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Alvin+729js&qid=1585253531&sr=8-1
A real beauty 😍 I love the tangle Paradox, but I would never have expected that it works so beautifully with the Flower of Life. Great job 👍
This is so beautiful
Tessellation inception 👍❤ that stuff fascinates me as well
Beautiful

Wonderful! and marvelous! I love sacred geometry, tessellations, circles, the paradox tangle... Many thanks!

Thank you so much for giving this to all of us as we all try to cope with the unknown.

Toni Johnson oh yes!!, me too
SUCH a great way to spend precious time right now - love you both

I love this tangle, I get a kick out of it every time I do it!

Tripoli?? Is this how it came to be?? TFS, your meta patterns of Paradox! Be well!
Thank you thank you thank you for showing me how to zentangle my blues away
I like it very much!

I remember them, too! Some were red, others were yellow.
Delightful - thank you for the lesson!
Brilliant. Ty
This is amazing! Maybe i'll do this in a future video of my own. I'd love to see this pattern in a larger scale.
Stunning! I'm going to try this at home.
Hey! Also, on the side where the gingko leaves are, you can also find a hexagon tesselation!
Yes! I want to add Pythagorus to Maria’s small reference list.
Nice

Wow the precision Rick!!
It's not my strong suit
I'm very afraid of the compass for starters
It looks amazing!!
Very cool, but I yelled at the computer when you started with the black lines on all that careful work.
How did you decide where to start your first circle?
Flower of life is a HELL geometry, an infinite hexagonal PRISON.
The REAL "flower" of life is a spiral, the Spring of Life.
What compass did you use?
It is a combination of the compass and pencil that is in the

Did you create tessellations?
:)
Fantastic … I too love Paradox... it is so relaxing. Thank you for sharing.
