Girih Arabesque #2

This is my second example of girih arabesque. The underlying structure is from a finite tile set based on Girih Extended. I've converted the girih strapwork to Bézier curves. As in example #1 I'm using an extension of the standard girih tiles, including some scaling tiles that give me the ability to vary density. There are two versions of the pentagon strapwork in this example, adding to the variety of pattern. This arrangement of girih polygons is without gaps and overlaps. It could be repeated indefinitely.
