Invidiosulus Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I pulled these out of my desk the other day and thought I'd share some pictures. I think I did all of these around 10 years ago when I was bored and had lots of time on my hands [] Straight lines and hexagons making a six sided star, A fish. A cross, Credo, A circular pattern. I think I was going to fill it in with the fine lines using the smallest size Rapidograph. Some Chi Rho designs from some friends of my sisters. They got tatoo's based on one or the other of these. Circles and lines, More patterns based on interlocking circles with varying centers, Another view of the same, More circles, A cross made out of circles, Interlocking rings(fancy name for circles), More, Bookmark pattern made from circles and straight lines,(waterproof ink) Circles and Lines with a few square corners, Multi colored circle pattern, More, Two strand knotwork cross in blue and black, Detail, Circles and Lines, Detail, Detail, Cross design(unfinished), Detail, What the "map" looks like, Enjoy. -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Dang...Spirograph has come a LONG way since I was a kid! [Y] Those are nice. Do you like to draw or do you have some background that requires more of this technical ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 No real reason. I just like to do this sort of thing although I haven't in a while. I did spend 2 years going to a private art school where I did a lot of figure drawing but I don't particularly enjoy that type of thing. Design, layout and drafting is where it's at. -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 14, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2009 You must have alot of patience, I like the last one Cross design, it will look really nice when done. You could use some of that for stained glass patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted December 15, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 15, 2009 Beautiful stuff!!!! Okay, so this may sound crazy...since dtel and I no longer do landscaping I have started a monogramming and embroidery/custom children's clothing company....I have a fairly good size mono/embroidery machine. Celtic patterns, especially knots and crosses are really popular right now.....I would love to see about getting some of your designs "digitized" for embroidery work. The largest design the more common machines can embroider is around 9" x 10"...I can get exact measurements.....so we may have to reduce some of the designs....it's just a thought. My daughter has someone working on a website design for the embroidery/monogramming/clothing....I could possibly sell some of the celtic embroidery designs to other small businesses like mine. I have been experimenting with "embroidery art"....basically matting and framing unique embroidery pieces, the demand is continually increasing....I have sold a few different styles of "fleur de lis" matted and framed. It took me a little while to refine the art of matting and framing....but I think I have it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted December 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2009 What digital formats can your machine read? I have a software program that can read the following formats (these are formats used by embroidery machines) .dst, .pes, .sew, .jef, .exp and .hus...it can read a few other embroidery formats...but these are the most commonly used.
