Needlepoint Now
This is an article I wrote for the March/April 2003 issue of Needlepoint Now magazine (Volume V No. 2). In it I describe my motivations, and major design approaches for all of my needlepoint projects.
Mandelbrot Fractal
This article is a quick overview of the mathematics behind the Mandelbrot fractal. Also discussed are the coloring techniques I used for fractal designs. Also included are links to the designs that use fractals.
Pentomino Puzzles
This article describes what pentominos are. There is a discussion of design techniques using pentominos and links to the designs that use pentominos.
Penrose Tilings
This article describes what Penrose tilings are. There is a discussion of the curves that can be drawn on these tiles, and the coloring techniques I used for my designs. Also included are links to the designs that use Penrose tiles.
