Pseudo Islamic art-like patterns

Image
Three shapes, the b owtie, regular pentagon and rhombus (with markings)  are all that are needed to produce Islamic art-like patterns.   The large regular pentagon (on left) contains  three  smaller pentagons,  two  rhombi and one  bowtie. Ten pointed star (on right) is made up of  three  bowties,  two  regular pentagons and  one  rhombus. Ten rotations of each... Here's the sort of thing you can do... The batman below comprises  two regular pentagons,  one  rhombus and one bowtie. Below - one example (plain/decorative) of a periodic batman pattern and another including rhombi.
