Not a tesselation, but a repeating pattern of mine. I drew the original
on paper and then taped it next to the monitor to translate the shapes
into ASCII. Took me a couple of hours, and then someone accused me of
using a program to make it. (I do use sacii art generators sometimes,
but this was not one of those cases.)

This is made from a repeating ascii art tile 27 columns wide. This
means that it is ever so slightly too large to get three across the
page, but I cropped it slightly.
