I took my polymer clay photo, desaturated it completely and then imposed a perfect tiling as well as I could in Inkscape, using partially opaque polygons with natural tones from a photo to color the clay. Since my clay is imperfect, it doesn't quite match. #inkscape #penrosetiles
Printables link for this polymer clay project. You need both a printer and clay to do it. It might work with something cheaper like salt clay. I haven't tried.

Finally, the long awaited printable model. This is one of my most elaborate designs, though it's not as mathematical elegant as some others. I think it would make a nice patio if done with real stone. I may do some multicolor versions.

Penrose cobblestones. There are 9 kinds of pieces, including Penrose kite and dart jigsaw tiles and "cobblestones" that can be snapped on top of each. The other pieces fit snugly in between and the assembly can be turned upside down. I'll post a model soon.

Working on a design I call Penrose cobblestones. I still need to work on the snap fittings. No AI art, just geometry and solid modeling.

Back to basics. No fancy snaps or hidden tabs, just jigsaw fittings.

As promised, a printable model of the Penrose kite and dart tiling with a Voronoi diagram surface. I did most of the planning in Inkscape and used Tinkercad to make the bumps on the surface using intersections of flattened spheres.

Penrose kite and dart tiles with rounded bumps based on a Voronoi diagram. I haven't put up a Printable for it but will later today.

Slight change to continuous stone Penrose tiling. The joins look a little more natural now. I'm going to use a new approach next.
#penrose #penrosetiles #tessellation #art #inkscape
Penrose stone tiling. Still not quite the seamless look I want, but I'm learning as I go. One important part is getting the corners right. I may also be able to do something with a voronoi diagram to place the stones.

It came out a lot busier than I wanted, but here are seamless seashell-themed Penrose kite and dart tiles. I'm still trying to get good at these. Maybe I need to enlist a real artist.

Another way to decorate Penrose tiles. Starfish and stylized sand dollar (which isn't really symmetric). I am working on filling in a continuous texture.
I used AI art to generate the pictures but it took work to make them symmetric.

Penrose du jour. This time I drew arcs from the edges to the incenters of component triangles. The arcs pass through perpendicularly so the joins are smooth. One interesting thing is it assigns shapes to all the ways of fitting corners.

Penrose tiles with contour lines. I'd explain the point, but I'm not sure I have one. Still, they look pretty cool.
Not AI-art. I did this in Inkscape.

I love that detour into Pascal's triangle with curiosity for the bisection and squares of numbers can reveal gold (1:Φ side ratio). Irrationality of nested structures can be found packed in Penrose's kissed and match-made arcs. 10/10 tangent in🎯 and🪁

#PenroseTiles
In my ongoing quest to #3dprint the perfect #penrosetiles These are small (3mm thick and 10mm on a small side), print with 45° degree overhang, snap and hold well, and can be printed upside down.
I have a preference for kite and dart tiles, but maybe I'll go for rhombs next.
New #3dprint. #Penrose kite and dart tiles again, but this time they fit together with hidden tabs. That's harder to get right than you might think.
#printables #penrosetiles
New #3dprint of a decorative braid based on Penrose tiles. It is the same one I used for a custom laptop decal. #crafts #decorative #penrose #tiles #penrosetiles
#Cricut vinyl sticker for my work laptop. It's my original design based on #PenroseTiles The first picture is after weeding and then I used some tape to hold it together and apply. I'm usually pretty clumsy with things like this but it worked on the first try.
