I appreciate that more than one person can have the same idea even though we might be worlds apart.
For anyone interested in the irregular pentagon shape I've found my drawings from 1986-90 before I had pc and printer in '95, I had traced templates from the A & NZ book above and drew patterns such as: Bird House in Tree, Robot Man, Wheel Barrow/Pram; Air Plane I; Airplane II; Airplane III; Turtle; Cray Fish; Crab; Water Lily/Tulip/Lotus; Ice Cream in dish; Helicopter/Plane; Flower (as in some of those garden flowers named by others here; Fish x 2; Bird; Kite; Box Kites; Bows; Dogs I & II; Camel Kneeling; Caterpillar; Flying Bat; Chicken; Dog Running; Cow Kneeling; Scissors; DartBird; another Bird House/Mouse Cage/Letterbox and so on - it is a remarkable shape which only needs triangles, rectangles etc added to give greater scope - I obviously didn't have anything better to do in those days
