DEKA-MOSAIK^TM ...developed by Kate Jones

This set is an excellent introduction to pentagon play: Create ever-changing patterns with 15 pairs of golden triangles and 5 pentagons in an acrylic 7" decagon tray. The four-color mix of the pieces makes it fun to continue to find new and different arrangements. Recommended for ages 8 to adult. $35

DEKA-STAR^TM ...styled by Kate Jones

This set of two shapes in four colors is the next best thing to a kaleidoscope. The 36-degree rhombus and the 72-degree rhombus are just what it takes to fill up the 7" decagon-shaped tray. Vary the patterns as you like from utterly chaotic to exquisitely symmetrical. Recommended for ages 6 to adult. $35

KITE-MOSAIK^TM ...developed by Kate Jones

This group of 4 shapes and 4 colors is the most complicated of the decagon series. It is a mini-lab for exploring the golden ratio of two golden triangles and two quadrilaterals (Roger Penrose's famous kites and darts). One of the surprises of Kite-Mosaik is that the entire set of tiles can be formed into one giant kite or one giant rhombus. Every size of kite, in all its stages of inflation, can also be modeled. And, of course, the 7" decagon tray itself can be filled with ever-changing symmetrical color designs. Recommended for ages 10 to adult. $35

The 192 colorful, flexible magnetic tiles, 2 centimeters on a side, are the 3 rhombus shapes it takes to tile with 7-fold symmetry. Their unique geometry makes it easy to create fascinating repeating and non-repeating patterns, beautiful mandalas and gorgeous designs. The sturdy 24-gauge steel black textured board protects a design in progress and can serve as a mounting panel to show off your prettiest designs. The authors' illustrated instructions, printed right on the record album-style cover, provide a fine overview of symmetry types. For ages 6 and up. $46

RHOMBSTAR-7^TM
...based on Fractiles-7 by Marc Pelletier and Beverly Johnson

The 84 diamonds, 28 of each size, are related by angles that are multiples of one-fourteenth of a circle. Each size has its own transparent color. The tiles can form endless designs both in the 8½" acrylic black-framed tray and freestyle. You can arrange them with unique optical effects, 3-D illusions, easy and creative patterns, and wonderful symmetries. We've used ruby, aqua and topaz Lucite for a stained-glass look. You might even like to display RhombStar-7 on a little easel as an inviting conversation piece. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
