Assignment: PCA 43 "Pattern"
Deadline: October 19th, 2008
Image Tag: pca43
From: Judy Knesel
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.

Soon I'll be offering this pattern for sale! It's really for a baby - not for a cat. I just lack the cute baby for the photo shoot!
Pattern is one of my favorites but now out of print. fabric is a nice, soft shirting from the 2.95 pile at G Street Fabrics.
Walking back from the Acropolis area in Athens, Greece, I spotted this pattern from the fence on a random building. I couldn't help but capture it, as I'm rather attracted to patterns.
