Having made 6- and 8-pointed stars, the next step was to make 3- to 7-pointed stars.

I eventually found the required proportions after more experimenting in Geogebra. For a short edge of 1 unit, the long edge needs to be 3.73, 2.41, 2.0, 1.73 and 1.6 for 3- to 7-points.

Odd numbers of units are awkward for choosing colours: either every unit a different colour or use 2 or 3 colours.

As the number of units goes up and beyond 10, the folded locking flap becomes tiny and almost useless.

There are two kinds of tech people.

One is like, "I know how this stuff works. I don't want it in the cloud. I want it local."

The other is like, "Yolo! Let's put my AI agent on that."

Another hatched CMYK Delaunay triangulation variation where the edges are softer. I love the blobby feel of these without right angle corners.

CMYK archival inks on 11x15 watercolor paper using a vintage HP 7585B pen plotter generated and controlled with Python.

Kona has done it again. She grabbed my gray fuzzy before I could hang it up and chewed two holes in before I could grab it back from her. (She's fast!) Used a chain stitch in a spiral with hemp yarn to fill the void. One down, one to go!

The thing with these #sashiko pants is—I can wear them for a couple of days before a new hole develops and they end up on the to-do list again until I get around to mending them again.

I'm... I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I mend all the parts that wear out. And then I'm done. Right? Oh well, at least they get prettier with every mend.

🌺 You fascinate me so 🌻

I realized I hadn't drawn intricate plants in a long time, so this was my way to remedy it! Really took me back to warm summer days and made me forget the cold out there for a while.
