Designing Tessellations: The Secrets of Interlocking Patterns (Hardcover) by Jinny Beyer - What’s a tessellation, you might ask? Think MC Escher, where interlocking geometric patterns bend back into themselves to create double designs. Beyer makes this artistic form easy to learn with more than 125 color photographs and 2,000 step-by-step color drawings. Don’t worry if you never passed a math class - this is a piece of cake. You’ll wow ‘em (and yourself) with the end results.
