Hello Mak,
I like those patterns, also the other one you've posted, can you tell us more about them and what they mean?

Will second billy's comments. They are neat looking.

The pronunciation about that Chinese character is "shou".
The meaning is longevity. There are many transformed shapes.
Very popular around East and South East Asia.
Mak
Have Fun!

Mak, that's an ancient character, right?

I know that this "shou" 寿 means "long life" or "longevity" (I'll attach a JPG), I think this must be the modern, simplified version of the character you posted, right?

The ancient one is much more attractive.

You are right!
