Platonic solids with Escher's mosaics

With Escher's mosaics we can cover not only flat plane but also surfaces of platonic solids. Some Escher's tessellations can be divided into simple shapes such as triangle and square. Using these simple shapes we can cover facets of polyhedrons. Below, you can see several examples of covering of Platonic solids with Escher's mosaics.
