I saw this attractive floor in the foyer of an old apartment building.
And, here is your Saturday ‘groaner’:
A guy walks into a bar with a lizard on his shoulder. The bartender asks him, “What do you call that thing?” The man says, “I call him ‘Tiny’, ’cause he’s my newt.”

Bert, thank you. I’ll sleep well tonight with that elusive knowledge tucked away in what I laughingly call a brain. 😉

I read somewhere (in connection with the Alhambra) that there are just 17 ways of tiling regular shapes. here’s a link that may help to explain: http://www.mathsatwhitehaven.com/logoweb/files/tess.htm
Do you feel better for knowing that? 🙂

They sure would make lovely quilt designs. We can commission Maxine for one of her works of art, perhaps.
Maybe you’ll have time to look at the floor mosaics in Santi Maria e Donato (Murano), and Santa Maria Assunta (Torcello). But, you may have already seen those.

That’s a beautiful design, very similar to one of my favorites in St. Mark’s Basilica. Someday I’d like to go through St. Mark’s and photograph all the different designs in the floor. They always look like they would make beautiful quilt patterns (not that I know how to sew).
