I think I should make a little series of botanical sketches (in my chosen medium of code, of course) of local native plants. Maybe I'll set them into a pattern later.

Hope I'm not disappointing you too much to say that while I do have a decent SLR, this was taken with my iphone and a clip-on macro lens. Sometimes if you keep your eyes open, you just see the shot and take it 🤷

Well, I won’t claim 100% confidence but I think the bokeh is an optical effect. With the clip on macro lenses, most the focusing was achieved with physically moving the camera close and further away. Again, just an educated guess, but based on what I was seeing as I took the photo.
Got myself a laser engraver a while back and finally got around to setting it up and dialling in some settings for card stock, wood, and acrylic.
Did a test run with an old piece I did for the Cricut.
I don't usually like to post anything this WIP and these are only part of the final design I have in mind, but I'm really finding the sort of painterly effects I'm getting fairly charming here.

Next some swirling foliage pattern behind these, then, they start scrolling right word, with new variations endlessly and seamlessly scrolling into place. I mean, in theory, in my imagination. We'll see how it turns out.

Well, the recursion spreads out in a six-fold diagonal direction, so it sort of suggests hexagons and certainly you could trace many hexagons.
Been sick in bed for the last couple days. Between sniffles and sleeping I started code-doodling. This started as an attempt at splattered paint, but gradually found form. I guess I'm ready for spring already.
Building upon my experiments with the space colonization algorithm. This time placing defined constraints on the placement of the 'nutrients' the growths are seeking, in order to roughly form shapes and a tiling pattern.
Finished my second #genuary ! I try to make something real and good for every prompt. Some always succeed far better than others. I learn a lot and am left with many threads to pick up and explore. Have really enjoyed seeing everyone's work this genuary, nice job all! Here's a little generative goodbye song, sung by simplex noise tuned to a minor key.
