Geometric design inspired by a tissue box 2

My second “tissue box” rug based on hexagonal tiling with some edges removed and some diagonals drawn in. The flower like central motif is reminiscent of Islamic art as well as an elaborate cast iron and glass roof I saw many years ago. The proportions of the lines and triangles are partially dictated by the (fixed) sett and (already chosen) number of warp threads. The revised design has proportionately thicker lines and a somehow more substantial feel than the original. The contrast between the slightly burnt orange and the speckled blue, made by plying thin yarns together, give lots of visual texture. Three end block weave with shaft switching. Cotton warp, carpet and other wool weft. Finish Damascus edge.
