A simple repeat of this
| |\ \ | |
| | \ \| |
| | /\   |
| |/  \  |
| |\ \ \ |
| | \ \ \|
| | / /| |
| |/ / | |
|   /\ | |
|  /  \| |
| / / /| |
|/ / / | |

gives this

| / / /| |
|/ / / | |
| |\ \ | |
| | \ \| |
| | /\   |
| |/  \  |
| |\ \ \ |
| | \ \ \|
| | / /| |
| |/ / | |
|   /\ | |
|  /  \| |
| / / /| |
|/ / / | |
| |\ \ | |
| | \ \| |
| | /\   |
| |/  \  |
| |\ \ \ |
| | \ \ \|
| | / /| |
| |/ / | |
|   /\ | |
|  /  \| |
| / / /| |
 
Here's another

|\ \  / /\ \/| |
| \ \/ /  \ \| |
|  \  / /\ \   |
|   \/ /  \ \  |
| |\/ /\ \  / /|
| |/ /  \ \/ / |

|  / /  \ \/   |
|\ \  / /\ \/| |
| \ \/ /  \ \| |
|  \  / /\ \   |
|   \/ /  \ \  |
| |\/ /\ \  / /|
| |/ /  \ \/ / |
|   / /\ \  /  |
|  / /  \ \/   |
|\ \  / /\ \/| |
| \ \/ /  \ \| |
|  \  / /\ \   |
|   \/ /  \ \  |
| |\/ /\ \  / /|

and another
\ \  / /\ \
 \ \/ /  \ \
  \  / /\ \ \
   \/ /  \ \ \
   / /\ \  / /
  / /  \ \/ /
 / / /\ \  /

With a bit of effort this can be made into a frame
       /\      /\      /\
      /  \    /  \    /  \
     / /\ \  / /\ \  / /\ \
