Despite the look, there are no spirographs today. Instead I went back to my usual GIMP, and played with triangle-paths, line thicknesses, and rotation. The first four are me basically squishing a triangle almost flat. The second eight are all based on rotating an equilateral triangle. Why that gave me something diamond-shaped, I don't know.

Interesting patterns! It's great what you can do with shapes. :)

I do like the optical illusion of motion. :^)

Playing with geometry - teacher´s dream!:-)

I think I figured out why the triangle rotations were coming up square! It's because the "rotate" command was rotating around what it thought was the centre of the layer rather than the centre of the image, and what it thought was the centre of the layer was determined by the bounding-box around the triangle, rather than the triangle itself. So it was a little off each time it was rotated, and it got more and more off-centre as I did more rotations. Because of course I would rotate 5 degrees, and then duplicate that triangle, and rotate that 5 degrees, so the errors accumulated.

THis is more like a science, isn´t it? :-)

Geometry is cool.

This little guy popped by to say hellooo...

What a cutie! I like how you used the lines and turned them into blinds.

Thanks! :)
I can't claim the idea though... There are loads of these on the internet. Really fun idea.

How fun! Pinky looks really happy to climb into your window. :^)

Don't think I'd be too happy if he did though. * eek! *

I was on hold (three different customer disservice people) for over an hour today. I finally gave up- maybe I'll buy a new computer next year.

I didn't dare distract myself with anything requiring thought, so I spiraled and spiraled and spiraled.

And after I finally surrendered to the inevitable, I went to

and doodled my feelings. This is SO MUCH BULL. :^). (I used the calligraphy pen tool).
