Moving back to blogger...
Hey all! Just a quick note that I've decided to consolidate my regular craft and 30-day challenge art blogs.
New address is here: http://acquiringallskills.blogspot.com
I'm not 100% happy with tumblr and I'm trying to simplify. Still won't have internet until the 24th, but I'm hoping to head over to the library in the next week and start the move + resume posting. I'll leave this up at least until everything is in one place.

This one reminds me of those huge power towers, and also people.

My favorite so far! Love how a simple tile makes something so interesting.

This one is based upon the fact that every four sided figure is a tessellation. (It's true!) If the sides of the figure aren't parallel then you need two of them (one rotated) to make a usable tile.

I recently got a cross stitch-able case for my phone, and I was trying to work on a pattern for it based on my name in binary. I went with this hawaiian flower-esque design (the tile says "ally!").

In this one, I see foxes, eagles and cardinals depending on how you rotate it.

August 2011: Tessellations!
I recently re-discovered an amazing book: Designing Tessellations by Jinny Beyer. I think it's out of print, and I was lucky to find a copy on Etsy.
My goal for this month is to design a tessellation a day. I love geometric designs and am fascinated with repeated needlepoint stitches and repetitive patterns I see around. I began doing some tessellation design accidentally when I went through a phase of cross stitching my name in binary. The abstract design really lent itself to experimentation and I realized I could create larger patterns by rotating and offsetting the "tile" of my name. I like the idea too of taking something meaningful (my name) obscuring it and making it abstract (translating it into binary) and then creating meaning and order again by finding a design.
I hope to work my way through the book, formally learning about the different types of symmetry, and then apply that to my own designs. At the end, if I have a design I really like, I want to have it printed on Spoonflower and create something from it for my new apartment... curtains? pillow? a quilt?
[Since I'm in the process of moving and unpacking the first week or two of August, it may take me a bit to set up my scanner and start posting pictures. Expect a mass posting hopefully within the next week!]

July 2011: Art Journal recap
Now that the month is over, how did I fare on this challenge? It was such a fail. Okay, maybe not completely a failure, but I didn't do so great either. I missed a lot of days and only made up a few of them. I lost focus in the middle/end and had challenges with packing up my art supplies for my move (hence, not completing the last three days of the month). Sometimes I would come up with ideas and be frustrated at my inability to carry them out, whether it was my artistic skill or not having the correct supplies. This was wayyyyy too broad for a daily challenge.
However, there were some positives! I learned a lot about myself and how/when I can create. I learned a ton about structuring daily challenges and have ideas for how to make the next one more doable. Also, I did make some pieces that I was really proud of, and looking back at a lot of these, I can remember what I was thinking and feeling on those days.
A major positive is that I now have some fellow 30daychallenge-ites who can spur me on and keep me on task for the next month. I'll post links to their blogs on my info page. :)
