A South Korean kid at school saw me using a compass to lay out the overlapping circles for this drawing/patterning, and asked what I was doing. When I showed him, he said, "Oh, tessalations!"
I said, "I bet you that most Americans don't even know the word tessalations much less what it means." He came back to me 20 minutes later to say I'd won the bet. He'd asked 20 kids at lunch if they knew what tessalations were, and they didn't.
This is in my reporter-style Moleskine notebook, done with Staedtler Triplus Fineliner pens.

Mission:
Pattern and repetition is used in many of the arts, like poetry and music for example. We are attracted to visual patterns because they are oddly comforting. Our emotional response is aroused when a single design element is multiplied into a repeated pattern.
Pattern is in so many things around us that sometimes we just don't notice it any more. Your mission is to stretch your imagination and post a wall-worthy photo of pattern that is either created by you or found in life around you. But no buildings.
Here is a good article on pattern and some ideas for inspiration.

Well I have to dust sometime... and whilst I did that I lifted this fan and thought pattern!
This is a b&w conversion of the original colour (unexciting) version. I gave it a warm tint. Then I tweaked the levels to accentuate the lines and give that sunburst feeling. Slight contrast and sharpening and that was that. I tried it in colour - I tried it with a colour layer behind, I tried it in front of the TV - nice colours, but I lopped off too much of the fan (drat!). So this is the one I settled for.

Before I use a pattern, I trace it onto interfacing and iron that onto cotton fabric. Then I cut out the pattern and use that as my guide, it's sturdy and you don't have to worry about little hands ripping all that tissue paper while you stand there in tears. (Not that I know anything about that!)
