This design is a variant of Shifted Bricks. Every other brick in each row is of different length. Since the rows are shifted relative to each other, if you look the right way, you can see four-brick clusters that form larger rectangles (narrow-wide in top row, and wide-narrow in the row below). This is just one of many examples how you can vary the bricks’ lengths in interesting ways.
The tessellation is iso-area, with the back side being a mirror reflection of the front. Folded from black Satogami paper.
I saw someone publish the same design on Instagram, with the information they learned it in one of Madonna Yoder’s workshops, so like many other members of the Pythagorean Tiling Family, this one has probably also been reinvented independently by many people.

My brick built Clayface. Kinda based off of his appearance in BTAS, but altogether just whatever hulking creature I could make with the brown parts I had. I painted onto that top part for his face but I messed up a bit on the eyes and lower left part.
*Might rebuild him with mixel parts, and not sure why he's so dusty...every time I grab him he's covered in dust*
A nearby 1920s house has two spiral (helical) brick columns (one clockwise and the other anticlockwise). The bricks appear specifically shaped for the purpose. So, I tried to discover their history, because these days spiral brick strutures seem to be made awkwardly from rectangular bricks.
In Adelaide, helical brickwork was part of Tudor revival designs in the 20s and 30s (see www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/e15923e7-9ece-4217-83a9-9...), but I could not establish the actual shape of these bricks or which company made them.
I found one UK company that currently supplies specially shaped bricks to create a convex spiral (see www.ibstock.uk.com/pdfs/self-build-new-ideas/Spiralbrick.pdf). In the Tudor period, apparently special bricks were made, as well as bricks being carved in situ.
We're collecting antique bricks from old family homes for our hearth. If I find out any information on the star imprint, I'll add it here. These came from the Auburn house.
Update: Jim Graves, from the International Brick Collector's Association, tells me that the star bricks were manufactured by the Lone Star Pressed Brick Company of Ferris,Texas, circa 1905-1923.
The Brick Lane Posse had a fabulous meet-up a week or two ago with the wonderful Allie, who was down visiting from Scotland. Allie is an amazing woman - beautiful, extremely intelligent, and fun - and we all had the most fantastic night out together.
In this pic (from left to right) you can see Nigella, Emma, Rachel, Rebecca (me!), and Allie herself. I had not seem Allie since long before the pandemic (although I have written a profile of her for "Transliving"!).
Allie just gets younger and lovelier as the years go by! I hope she will be down again soon.
Love and Kisses to All!
