This
pattern
is
created
by
starting
with a
Turkish
base.
A
comb
with
one
set
of
teeth
is
drawn
through
the
bath
twice
vertically
,
once
in
either
direction
with the
second
pass
halving
the
first.
Then the
same
procedure
would be
done
horizontally.
The
final
step
would be to
draw
the
comb
one
last
time
through
the
bath
vertically
in
straight
lines
causing
the
colors
to
fan
out
a
bit
as
somewhat
discernable
arcs
form.
These
arcs
are
reminiscent
of
fern
fronds.
The
primary
colors
for this
example
are
blue
and
black.
