Due to several piratings of my drawings, and planning to edit puzzles with others, I was forced to remove several dozen. Believe me that I'm sorry



STAGING THE TESSELLATIONS

The following drawings are all different of those of my "Figurative Tessellation Method". In this method you will find nearly 120 other tessellations with instructions for their creation.
New drawings are added periodically.
The base type specified is the isohedral type defined by B. Grünbaum and G.C. Shephard.
All the drawings are copyright Alain Nicolas, all rights reserved. You must get my permission to reproduce any of my work.
