I love this design. It is really like an optical illusion which I love.
Beautiful work! :) I always have trouble getting things to line up when it is disected like that. Tho I haven't seen this design before. Love it!! :-)
By the way the cane refers to a cane seat in a chair and in some cane seats the reeds are woven so there are four sections where the reeds go from the outside into the middle to meet in the center. Your design is very like some I have seen. My mom used to be an antique dealer.
