Four line grids at even angles are cut into squares and thin rhombs, giving an eight-fold tiling that never repeats however far it runs.

Terrazzo Chips
Irregular stone chips of every size pack the slab without ever touching, and each one drifts a hair on its own orbit so the floor never sits quite still.

Every gap between three touching circles is filled by the one circle that touches all three, over and over, until the whole disc is packed to the grain.
Overlapping shell fans lie in offset courses with rays struck across each one, and a diagonal wave lifts them course by course like a gilded ceiling.
A seeded board runs the neighbour rules forward generation by generation, then plays the whole run backwards so the loop closes exactly.
Two families of cord cross the frame on the diagonal, alternating course by course so one set rides over the other the way knotwork is drawn.
Rings spread from the middle of a checkerboard and every square they reach turns edge-on and comes back the other colour, like a wall of flip-dots.
Circles drop in at every size that will still fit without touching, filling the frame, then each one pulses gently against its neighbours.
Points drift on slow orbits and the frame retriangulates around them every frame, so the whole low-poly mesh keeps rebuilding itself.
