    These images are a huge inspiration to me- I could live off these tessellation ideas for weeks!

      Yes! I love the uwisc decorative arts collection, and it is indeed where I got these from.

      I think I've posted the link to it in various places for some of the individual plates, but not for the entire set itself - thanks for the direct link, I'm adding it to the overall set right now.
