Such wonderful images so far! I really need to get busy. (It's nice to see one of mine in the "good examples of what we want" at the beginning of the feature! How fun!)

Everyone is posting such great stuff ... and it's good to see Mark here!

Okay ... I'm off to see what I can get. I've got a couple ideas already!

Stunning these patterns together, Prisca. It also shows a great mood. So cozy :D

cfulton ( ) posted Tue, 07 December 2010 at 2:58 AM

lots of repeat stitching!

helanker ( ) posted Tue, 07 December 2010 at 4:05 AM

OH WOW! I cannot follow up so fast it goes in here.

Photo albums, Walls, and insolations plast or somethng.

All exciting stuff indeed. Got to think about my number two image soon. Hmmm.....

A nice shine on this photo, Mike; which is I guess the lining of a jacket (maybe :))

Meisiekind ( ) posted Tue, 07 December 2010 at 11:57 AM

Oh WOW - I missed so much! Have been working the whole weekend and last night until midnight!

Mark - Welcome to the forum - I love the gulls and the Chicago skylines. Very fitting for the challenge.

Arthur - wonderful abstract and great colors!

Mike - awesome contributions. I love the wire squares.

Priska - Three great images. I particularly love the knitted piece. You don't get more repetition than knitting!

Clive - Love the birds on a wire but the washine machine image is tops! Very artistic indeed!

Tara - WOW - those albums makes for a wonderful image completely in line with the challenge! Well seen my friend!

Bravo all!!! Keep them coming!

I come from 2D, and it's a pleasure to see the creativity & invention of this forum! I'm sorry I'm here sporadically, as I don't get to comment as these go up. But I love what everyone's done!

Thought you might enjoy some older masters' take on patterns etc. Many of these are classics...
