so i was searching online for something cool and interesting to put onto my post, and i finally stumbled upon this site. basically it's what we have been doing in class just interpreted in a diffrent way, and with a different flow chart (which was what i think the teacher was saying that there are a bunch of different ways to categories frieze patterns and so many mathematicians use these other types of charts to decipher frieze patterns). So i tryed it and it is pretty difficult since i'm used to the p-_ _ _ system. But it's fun to see what you get out of this system, don't try too hard cause this should just be fun. And also it shows different types of patterns for different cultures, time periods etc. Its an interesting little article not too long take a look.

i really like this page.. i think it's really cool how the time period effects the border.. for example the egyptian time period border has triangles that could represent the pyramids
That was a cool page. I like how the designs get increasingly more complex
I liked seeing the frieze patterns from different cultures compared side by side, like Navajo, Turkish and Victorian. Also, the title of the page is Freize Frames. Haha.
Yeah I agree with the other commentors. The research involved in the specific time periods of those patterns is very interesting. I personally liked the Nigerian pattern.
