Genuary 18

Abstract art of light pink lines on a dark background. The lines are horizontal and vertical, evenly spaced, and some junctions are marked with light pink dots

Unexpected path. Draw a route that changes direction based on one very simple rule.

My rule: Beginning in the center, alternate drawing horizontal and vertical lines with random end points constrained to a grid. Each end point becomes the start point of the next line. Mark the start point of approximately 30% of the lines with a small dot.

63 Broken Ladders

I mailed my postcards for this year’s plotter postcard exchange. The design this year is “63 of 255 possible broken 8 rung ladders (in order) + 1 complete 8 rung ladder.” I plotted the cards using an Axidraw SE/A3 with a Staedtler pigment liner for the black lines and a Sakura Pigma PN for the red.
