Kagome weave with dandelion stems - interplay of the fragile and the robust

So, yesterday I plucked some dandelion stems and wanted to tinker something with it. My first attempts with these fresh dandelion stems included different kinds of braids: The material is too fragile to handle such heavy twists. Hence I decided to try the kagome pattern, as the curving/bending/twisting of the kagome pattern is very light and does cause few stress on the material. Additionally, as I wove I realized again the advantage of this pattern: While it is also simple and elegant in its simplicity, it has practical aspects as well, as it gets its stability from the whole it forms. Each stem alone is not responsible for the stability of the woven piece.

But as network of entangled members supporting each other, the kagome weave stands out with its rather robust kind, despite being built up by rather fragile members.

I drew this for my system agnostic horror adventure zine but honestly, it feels so clear and cursed all at once, I think it stands firmly on its own.

But also if you want to know how it got corrupted, I do have a whole zine about it somewhere.

I bought a bag of these snacks... mainly because they are hexagonal (and also because I am hungry - and the pretty hexagonal shape makes them more appealing to me)

So turns out the coordinate math behind hexagonal chess is... Simple I think? If we just agree not to use the directions I've labeled as x and z all we have to do is generate regular chess moves in 3D (a solved problem by yours truly) and then take whatever is in the y-coordinate and add it to both the x and z coordinates. Then we just drop the y coordinate and we should get something 2D that a computer can store into an array. The non-squareness of the board is going to be interesting to deal with but I expected this to be... Well more interesting. I'm kind of disappointed tbh

As a side note I threw this through an AI art style transfer called Prisma because I'd like to post more handwritten notes, but I also want them to be a bit prettier. Interesting experiment on two fronts
