Notes

Not a difficult pattern, relatively quick to do. It might be interesting to play with the colors a bit, instead of staying within the same colorway use three contrasting colors for the mari, layer 1 and layer 2. Or, shift the placement of the color values instead of using medium for mari, light for layer 1 and dark for layer 2.
