This must be well-known, but I only discovered the construction this afternoon.
The sides of the edge pentagons are 1/3 the side of the big ones; the radius of the discs in the corners is arbitrary and picked to look nice. Probably the larger discs should have calligraphic decorations in them.

But even the famous blue-and-yellow whirling snakes of insanity stop whirling if you look at them straight-on.
