Three dogs tessellation

Posted on 2016-04-16 by Champagne Design

One line, one fill tessellation by Francine Champagne, ©2016 — Symétruc simple

One line, one fill, tessellation

Posted on 2016-04-02 by Champagne Design

Symmetry group P4g, a square mirror box with a four way rotation in the middle. Very constraining to build a flowing figure within such a rigid set of rules.  In the image below, starting in the middle of the square, the “x” indicates the four way rotation. Continue reading →

Couch Kartoffel tessellation

Posted on 2016-03-21 by Champagne Design

Yes, Couch Kartoffel, that’s Couch Potato. A Cajun recipe. A melding of the dog and the master some insightful viewer noted. Dog in control, with the remote in paw. And it’s not the TV remote, Continue reading →

Hikers tessellation

Raven’s Zen tessellation

Posted on 2016-02-08 by Champagne Design

It is difficult to tell the difference between a raven and a crow. Un corbeau ou une corneille. Corvus corax & corvus brachyrhynchos, corvus caurinus on the Island here. Or the white ravens in Qualicum Beach!

Snoring dogs line tessellation

Posted on 2015-12-30 by Champagne Design
