Animal print

For the animal print contest, I did a pattern very loosely based on snakeskin:

Snake Scales

My favorite entries were the fingerprints and turtle shells.

Valentine's Day, a month early

This week's contest was the V-day theme. Nothing more specific this year - just "be my valentine." I wanted to do something with cupids. I fell back on one of my favorite patterns - the good ol' cube optical illusion tessellation. (such as this or this or this).

Cube-pid

And so I called it "Cube-pid!" Ha!

My favorites were the Mary Blair-esque animals and the matches.

Happy 2019!

Happy new year! The last contest of 2018 carried over two weeks, so that nobody would have to log in and vote during Christmas week. This was the "astrology" theme. I went with the Chinese zodiac and re-used something I made already. I had made this for year of the monkey and had so much fun I made all twelve. So for this one I just put all the symbols together:

Chinese Zodiac in Auspicious Colors

My favorite was this simple "bubble" version of the zodiac symbols.
