if i put the ones at both ends the same it would look very odd and off centre (which is what it would be) look at the number of diamonds left and the number right, they are the same, then we have the centre. if i matched it with the length at the top it would not be centre on its own line. once the client has the gate fitted i'm pretty sure EVERYONE who passes or visits would say 'that diamond is not centre':wazzzup:

Can you tell me when it starts? How Long is it? How Much? Please because I am in Scotland in early January and if it works out well with dates i could call in on the way back down from Dornoch to do it. Thanks

with regard to the overlapping red diamond closing in the centre i look at these geomatric floors all the time and the original ones dont seem to have this , extra border strips can be used to gain the module size to enable the full diamond and reduce the perimeter black cut to the outside edges if you are interseted in this type of work check out "the victorian society " they are based in chiswick in london and have guides for the restoration of these types of floors

Here is my vestibule floor tiled by our ancestors and gods of the encaustic geometric floating floor.

As you can see...beautiful...but on closer inspection, this chap finished on a Friday dinner...and lost interest in the final detail.

I would like to see anyone elses geometric work please, trev thanks for being proud of what you are doing....Gaz

pj & sir. everything is square and the border is symetrical. the pic does not look its best crunched down so much with this pattern and colour. however, the client was very happy and i had numerous passers by comment and ask for my card. working outside for all to see can be very daunting so has to be right.


Thanks

im not slagging your work mate
but as a photographer your sh!te
