Moroccan Geometry: S7 HW: 12-fold with ball (Tanashri bl kora), with examples of over-under channeling.

  Moroccan Geometry: S7 HW: 12-fold with ball (Tanashri bl kora) (تناشرث بل كورة) 1.  Draw a circle the size of the page. This will be divided into 12ths.  Note:   The ratio of the circle diameter to the height and width of the finished design is roughly 5:3.  For 12"x18"  paper, i f you wish to make the finished design larger so that it takes up nearly the size of the page, you'll need to t ake an extra sheet and divide it into two pieces along the horizontal, then tape the pieces to the top and bottom of the page as shown. A circle with a 9" radius will take up the entire 18" page, and will yield a finished design approximately 18"x3/5, or 10.8", leaving margins of 1.1" on the top and bottom. To yield a larger design, you'll need to tape 1" strips to each side of the page, which would allow for up to a 20" diameter (10" radius), and a finished design of 20"  x 3/5, or 12", which would take up the entire page with no
