Here's a first draft of one I'm working on. DNA meets CPU.
Oh dear. I'm behind on my patterns....I have several that are in progress, but I haven't gotten any of them to a point where I'm comfortable posting them publicly. I have a spouse out of town and a couple of other significant deadlines. But, whining aside, I want to clarify the rules under which I'm operating. My intent is to post a pattern a day -- one different pattern for every day of the year. However, I have to give myself a little leeway...I'm not committing to the daily creation of a unique pattern, because there are some days that's just not possible. So if I get behind, like I am right now, I will have to post patterns for every day that I've missed. (It's a little like self-flogging, but not as painful and aesthetically more rewarding.) This same situation occurred over the holidays, and I know if I get a chance to focus on the pattern project for a couple of hours I'll be able to finalize some of the patterns that are WIP (Works in Progress).
Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. Happy b-day, Martha! Here's a little abstract pattern of the day:
I've done a bunch of new drawings for my patterns, but haven't had the chance to scan/trace/manipulate them to my satisfaction. I'll try to get that done tomorrow. I'm getting a little behind, and I don't like it.
I've been kinda into helices lately. (The answer to my question posed yesterday, "Is 'helixes' even a word?" is no, for those of you who care.)
Once again I take my inspiration from Henry's doodling on his school papers. Here is his drawing, which is not exactly a classic herringbone, but certainly looks like it. He didn't know what herringbone was until I told him.
I also took the liberty of scanning the front of Henry's schoolwork page, because I thought it was quite amusing. Especially the last answer. He gave me permission to use it, although he didn't really understand why I would want to.
I did a new version of the A pattern. Here 'tis. I have yet to find those precious moments that I need to do a real entry. Maybe tomorrrow...it will be the first day I haven't worked this week.
Back to nature again. Berries, cherries, trees, whatever.
Another letter pattern today, not necessarily in order. We've had a lot going on that I'll have to discuss in more detail tomorrow. It involves shipping lots of Grow clothes for swag bags at the Sundance Festival.
I'm working on an alphabet book, so I'm going to post some alphabet patterns.
