The floral designs (arabesque) are done by hand and the geometric tiling is ruler/compass based. I focus mostly on the geometric part of it, since I dont have the dexterity to do the arabesque by hand.

Yes, Isfahan is on my bucket list too. In the news for the wrong reasons these days unfortunately.
I am. My interest developed after visiting a number of Mosques/Monuments and seeing the intricate designs.
My niche hobby is exploring patterns in Islamic Geometry and trying to re create them. It is an art of creating pleasing and aesthetic geometric patterns (from intersecting circles mostly). The art form is very popular in decorating Mosques and other Islamic monuments as human/animal representation is forbidden.
[Edit] The thing that I find the most fascinating is that all the complex design you see, are done with only using a pair of compass and rulers.
