Daud Sutton, a specialist in Islamic Design, sent me an email from Cairo just a few days ago.

Title is the “Crystal Cave.” The book is full of geometric designs to color by Ensor Holiday, Roger Burrows (me), Roger Penrose, John Martineau, and Haifa Khawaja. Each author has applied different math systems to generate […]
