Nous sommes arrivés en France! We are staying in this lovely country for two months this spring. Our primary residence is Lyon, the third largest city in France, located to the southwest. It is a historical, cultural, and very picturesque city founded as the Roman city of Lugdunum, spread out over two hills and two rivers -- the Saône and Rhône.
With side trips to locations as diverse as Paris, Perpignan, Aix-en-Provence, and more, Steve and I aim to get our fill of a country neither of us has seen in a decade, and enjoy the cuisine, culture, language practice, scenery, and generally, la vie quotidienne.

The two criteria for my pattern that I chose were repetition and consistency. My inspiration for this image came from the drawings of leaves, grass, and pine needles that I drew a couple days before.
I think it is important to take a closer look at the world because there is so much that is smaller than us that we ignore. We forget that even the smallest leaf is very complex. I think the biggest challenge for me was making a shape that could have a fill out of many paths. I spent a lot of time experimenting to find out the best way to accomplish this and I still think there are better ways out there. It was easy to draw the outlines of the objects that I used in this pattern and too turn it into a repeating pattern.
