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.

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!)

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.
Taken at the Wetland centre Llanelli.

White Sands National Monument is in the northern Chihuahuan Desert in the U.S. state of New Mexico. It's known for its dramatic landscape of rare white gypsum sand dunes. Trails through the dunes include the raised Interdune Boardwalk and the Dune Life Nature Trail, dotted with interpretive exhibits on wildlife and other features. Dunes Drive is a looped road from the White Sands Visitor Center to the dune field.
Patterns: V-Lampz, B´tweed, Btl Joos and a pattern in the background called Puf by Carole Ohl. Thank's to Lindy Lu, now I got it right!
