Tribal Butterfly
With echoes of Native American and Aztec motifs, the shapes in this design are hard-lined but the colours and textures create an overall softness.
Tribal Heart
The curved motif of a heart is cleverly created using only straight-edged shapes. Inspired by Navajo-style designs in which the shapes originate from weaving techniques.
Tribal Beat
Serrated diamonds, some with spindly stars at their centres, are arranged in a repeat using an antique effect where the black background starts to shows through.
