STEP THIRTY SIX

I thought I'd use a square of gravel to create a backgroumd pattern, but could see right away that it was not going to create the same kind of symmetry as the other experiments I have done. I decided to continue on, however, thinking that I might come up with something useable.

After filling the page, I applied Gaussuan Blur to the image and some symmetry appeared, but it also got rid of the hard dividing lines that showed pepples being cut in half. I proceeded to darken and increase contrast until I ended up with the image you see here. I think this is interesting in its own right although not as dramatic as the last patterns I have shown.

APPLESAUCE BACKGROUND

Applesauce anyone? I'll bet you didn't know this was hiding in your applesauce.

STEP THIRTY FIVE

We can use the same technique to make this pattern out of a close up of a slice of bread. The possibilities are endless.
