Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date, the theme is 'Love'. I made a heart tessellation pattern designed on graph paper. I chose 3 colours that seemed to work well together (red, pink and purple) and am so proud of the result. I have never done anything like this before, very math-like. Art and Math geometry have a lot in common as I have come to learn. Tessellation patterns are like tile patterns in the way shapes fit together, very much like a puzzle. So I made upright rows of hearts alternating with upside down hearts with no spaces in between the pattern.

This is really good. Can I just admit how much I love graph paper and squared paper too!
Nice art
That is really nice. So true about art and geometry and math being similar.
That's a beautiful piece! Well done.
This looks lovely Christine.
Wishing you a Happy Valentines Day.
All the best Jan
Good job!
lovely and colorful "a heart tessellation pattern designed"...
Beautiful work, Christine. You did a wonderful job on it, as usual.
Happy Valentine's!! :) Your pattern is lovely! Very well done! I remember doing something similar once and it drove me crazy trying to get it all right lol! :)
Your pattern is beautiful and yes very "Mathamatic". I don't often think in terms of math when I an creating, but it certainly is true that this Math Pattern is artistic and, I am guessing, not so easy to make. Nice job, Christine :)
