#ArtAdventCalendar 22: a tumbling-blocks geometric #RugHooking work-in-progress. Started in February 2020, IIRC.
A hand-hooked running-loop-stitch work in progress, playing with the tumbling-blocks pattern (where 3 diamond shapes are placed together to form a cube, and shading of the cube’s sides give an illusion of movement). At its centre where 6 diamond points meet, is a colour wheel of bright saturated primary and secondary colours, shaded lightest at its centre and darkest at the edges of the star-shaped wheel. Diamonds in the tertiary colours turn the star into a hexagon, and diamonds in the quaternary colours are being started around the edges. Each stitch is a loop of hand-dyed wool fabric, with some silk, paper, and yarn added for textural effects. There are also embroidered and felted embellishments and buttons added. The edges are unfinished, with lots of the linen foundation fabric still left unhooked. “Colour Is Its Own Reward”, adapted from a traditional quilting/tiling pattern and hooked by Deb Merriam, started in a workshop with Gail Becker.

The final #ArtAdventCalendar post: My most involved artwork of 2025:

3D Lissajous Figures, constructed exactly from their 2D projections. Watercolor pencils on canvas.

#SciArt #MathArt

See the evolution of this painting step-by-step on my blog:
elkement.art/2025/09/17/l...

Happy Holidays!
Geometric watercolor pencils drawing on stretched canvas: Three overlapping Lissajous figures defined by combinations of sin(t), sin(2t), sin(3t), and a third “3D” view as an orthographic projection. The lines are used as a tesselation of the drawing surface and colored in the style of stained glass. The painting has been completed as has been varnished.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

One Source of Bad Information, by Robert Bly

(quoted in Wild Things: A Geography of Grief by Barbara Wansbrough)
There's a boy in you about three Years old who hasn't learned a thing for thirty Thousand years. Sometimes it's a girl. This child had to make up its mind How to save you from death. He said things like: "Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk." You live with this child, but you don't know it. You're in the office, yes, but live with this boy At night. He's uninformed, but he does want To save your life. And he has. Because of this boy You survived a lot. He's got six big ideas. Five don't work. Right now he's repeating them to you. Robert Bly, 'One Source of Bad Information'
