In my own book I present a number of patterns, but I would never dare to claim authorship to any of them. Singmaster's comments prompted me to look at my own books. In CUBE GAMES (Taylor and Rylands} this pattern appears on the top of page 37.I have a strong suspicion this pattern could be a combination of the two cyclicity-three patterns on page 36 therein. One may use this pattern as a corner in a 3-color design. Design-construction is a step beyond pattern-construction. My question has not yet been satisfactorily answered. Has anyone seen construction of 3-dimensional "sculpture-like" designs? People referred me to Davenport's creations, but my own designs are quite different. Hana
