Yet more doodling with huck lace

Today I played in the tie-up.  I discovered that vertical and horizontal lines make, not too surprisingly, horizontal and vertical lines respectively.  Then I started playing around with curves, and realized that (in general) if you make your lines parallel to each other, they will produce “echoes” of each other, making for a pleasing, repeating pattern.

Here is a plain curve:

And here is the same with an echoed curve:

I like this look; it’s nicely organic.

Then I asked myself what would happen if you combine two different lines in the tie-up, like a curve with a diagonal.  The patterns superimposed on each other, leading to a more complex (and I think intriguing) design:

I then tried echoing the lines to see what would happen, and discovered that that way lies madness:

And that’s all I had time for.  Off to work!
