For those who would like to develop their skills in this Japanese art, this Trianges design involves dividing the ball into eight 'complex divisions'. These traditionally geometric patterns will inspire you to create your own colour combinations and designs. They make lovely ornaments or gifts, and are great to hang on a Christmas tree or in the window.
