  • This video is much longer than previous ones, I wanted to "talk you through" the steps, as so many details of drawing get missed when doing the animations & jazzy music sped up videos... it does mean all my mistakes are there in there full glory!

    I’m only up to 11:40 viewing this for the first time, and I am struck by the beauty of the colour and symmetry of the construction lines. It is worth noting how wonderful these pictures are at every stage of their creation. Thank you again for your clear, honest, amusing and informative narrations. Your videos are the best.

    You've used beautiful colours for this piece, very harmonious. Are they the colours of the original in Turkey or have you chosen your own? I look forward very much to drawing it. I really appreciate your not using musak in your videos and hope you are never tempted to, as it annoys and destroys one's concentration while working on a project along with the artist. Thank you as always :)

    • @samiramian
      @samiramian  3 роки тому +1

      The colours were my own choice, i believe the original is carved stone, so had to find my own inspiration... thank you for the feedback on music, i think I had dabbled earlier on with that, wasnt too confident to talk! but now am happy to and receive feedback that encourages me to carry on

    This is stunning. I am about to embark on a crochet throw project from a pattern I saw on Ravelry, called "Persian Tile" www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/persian-tile-blanket and I can see the resemblance! You make octagonal and square motifs which fit together. How great to be able to draw it, too. This is definitely one I want to do. Thanks for your brilliant and detailed instructions!

    • @samiramian

      @@samiramian Thanks, Samira! It's a project I'm really looking forward to starting, once I've completed my Tiny Carpets embroidery project. One thing I was going to ask you - with the initial detailed drawings you do, would it be possible to show the various final designs that can be drawn from each one? This would save having to do the detailed drawing each time I wanted to do another design. What I am planning to do is create a folder with the original geometric drawings, and an accompanying list of all the finished designs that can be traced from them so that I could cross reference them. I think this would save a lot of work in the long run. I've noticed that a lot of them start in exactly the same way too, with the central circle, and the two half circles interlocking with it at the sides.

    This mathod of construction requires so much lines. The traditional method of Islamic geometry of Prof Mohammad Aljanabi is very good.
    He praise your work in his facebook group. Why don't you try traditional method.
    Thank you

    • @samiramian
      @samiramian  5 років тому +3

      Ive learnt lots from Mohamad Aljanabi and really love what he's taught me. But I may have to disagree a little, in terms of so many more lines when you compare constructing a quarter as apposed to this. I often construct his quarter "4 at a time" and it isnt always that different...I sometimes find efficiency in refining what Ive learnt from all my teachers.... im sure a second version of this is in there somewhere.
