masked by your reach A code demo by Sophia (fractal kitty) (she/her) created on CodePen

Today's doodle (another coded poem)

I started playing with the negative space left by the min/max of the curves, and then let my stream of conscious coding flow and poetry form through iteration line-by-line.

Love codepen's 2.0 editor.

A watercolor style painting of a bush hit on a branch with lichen.
The bird is backlit, mostly browns with blue greens and yellows throughout. The bird is sideways on a branch that is vertical looking up into the left.

Project update:
Tanya and I have been writing up the results of this project and we've realized that all of the knots in this class of patterns are at most 6 "tangle moves" from each other and at most three tangle moves from what we're calling the "great-great-granny knot" (see alt text).

#genuary 22: plotter ready. Here's a 3D rendering in p5, with a dithered shader applied, and then the opaque pixels are turned into dots in an SVG! openprocessing.org/sketch/2854186 #p5js #p5v2

White background. Continuous black stroke, making horizontal lines, alternatively from left to right and right to left. Vertical zigzag lines create patterns.

7x5 block quilt made of jelly roll 2 inch strips arranged so there is a weaving, herring bone, steps, or other patterns to find. The fabrics are white, black and shades of gray with mathematical flowers, circles and stars for patterns. The binding is black and the blanket is laying on a blue surface blanket.
The picture is low light with limited detail.

Working on blog post for this tomorrow, but sneak peek of the procedural (genquilt) after getting the binding on tonight (low light pic). This is a #decemberAdventure just finished (minus a write up).

Make your own pattern at Genquilt.com
