The last few weeks have been pretty intense. Lots of pressure, and not enough time to write all the code I needed to write.

Yesterday, some of the pressure briefly lifted. I broke out the embroidery threads and stitched up this Mystic Rose pattern. It turned out great! So I'll probably bring it to the GalaxyGoo booth at the Maker Faire next month.

To form a mystic rose, arrange vertices (equidistant) on a circle. Then draw edges connecting each vertex to every other vertex. There's a pretty cool Mystic Rose interactive on the Mathematica website.

An early sketch generated with AS3, from a piece I'm working on. When the particles collide, they leave a trail and share a ring color.
