Yes, well, kaleidoscopes *can* be rather addictive…
I made a tile, then filled an image with it, similar to my previous versions. Click on the image to see the full background.
The background is suitable for computer monitors, or even in papercrafting. But, since I just know that you all would love to be able to make your own backgrounds and print them out, I made you a little gift:
Again, click the image to see the larger size, then save to your computer in the usual manner for your system. You can use this as a repeating tile to fill your image and make a background or paper for scrapbooking, card making, origami, jewelry, or whatever you like. You can even print it on fabric, if you like. If you want instructions for turning this into a pattern for PhotoShop, go see Digital Photography School.
As much as I hated math in school, I constantly find myself trying to master basic geometry concepts all over again, first with quilting, and now with kaleidoscopes. One of these days, I’ll make a post about the angles for making a certain number of points in the kaleidoscope image. Once I get it worked out for myself, that is.
Enjoy!
