Default Re: Thoughts on tesselation

That works.
One " rule " for tessellation is you take the smallest reasonable area, and us it to decide whether to go with a square or hexagon, and the size of it.
Then, use that to develop the whole area.
And once you have the tessellation laid out, it can even be a background, and then you can drop a more major pattern in the middle of the tessellations.
and you can mix tessellation and fractal, I do it all the time.
The main thing that relates to gun or knife engraving is to THINK OF THE DESIGN ELEMENTS, because they have soooo much to do with developing a recognizable style, then arrange them to suit the space.
