It's important to take a closer look at the natural world because patters are abundant within it. Nature is beautiful, and patterns help capture this beauty. Pattern are not only pleasing to the eye, but also *interesting,* especially in nature. I saw a few leaves on the ground, and that's where I found inspiration for my project. The leaves I saw were much more scattered than my pattern, however. I guess I wanted to add my own twist to things. It was challenging for me to figure out how to use and manipulate color with Illustrator. Eventually, I realized that making multiple layers helped me get my colors exactly where I wanted them to be. It was easy for me to draw with Illustrator -- the smoothing of lines is an AWESOME feature!
these dendritic patterns are the line of intersection between the ammonite's shell and its septa, which are the walls it built as it extended its shell. I've posted more information about it in our blog here:

the fossil is approximately 110 million years old. Jesse gave it to me for the holidays.
MAJORAS' MASK (Project: Terrible Fate)
The back of the mask was looking kind of empty, so I figured I could carve some "ancient" looking pattern. This was done with a Rotary Tool and after several hours this is the result!

So it took awhile, but I finally remembered that I could put 2x2 bricks into the same space as a 1x2 five plates high, which I use to fill in the center of the squares. This was helpful, because the red squares in this picture had previously been unattached, only held into place by gravity. But now I can put in a 2x2 square (2 plates with a tile on top) and attach it studs behind it. Here you see one of the two large baseplates in my collection. The plain one is currently in use for a Race Car Driver House, so you get my nice pirate island one. The baseplate is bending a little against the wall, which makes the red squares not fit in as smoothly as they would otherwise. Don't hold that against the pattern; just chalk it up to my laziness. :-)
Oh, I also attempted making it into a square shape. Once I got criticized for covering up all the ugly ends of the snot work (it was an idiotic critique, really), but I have noticed sometimes that I don't want to cover up the ugly ends but present them neatly to the world. So here's an attempt to do that. The problem is that in this configuration adjoining studded areas on the border wouldn't be able to connect to each other. I suppose you could just put plates there instead of studs and slide it into wherever it was needed.
Also, I got desperate and realized that those 1x2 grille plates work excellently as tile substitutes, if they're being all snotty.
Oh, and in this picture I can really see the illusion of the squares popping out. It wasn't that noticeable to me before.
I have a tendency to get really long-winded. Up till now I've been fairly good about not doing it on flickr... but I think my inherent nature is starting to show. :-)

Začíná podzim a tak je čas obléknout panenky o něčeho teplého a příjemného. Tento kabátek vznikl z pružného a jemného úpletu.Šil se krásně a protože jsem ho nezačišťovala, tak i rychle. Protože z něj mám radost, tak bych se ráda o střih podělila. Neumím ho vložit jinak než že ho vyfotím, tak snad půjde použít.

Fall has just started and so it is time to dress our dolls in warm outfits. It was easy to sew, so I would like to share pattern with you. I hope, you will have good results as me.
