Today's time sink: redwood surface design

[elainegrey]

Cutting out more branch bits, figuring out how to effectively
"posterize" them, simplifying the color palette and allowing me to
replace with the color of my choice. This seems like it could be the
beginning of an interesting pattern with the needles in circles of
different scales and different colors. I'm also imagining a
herringbone-ish pattern and a random "leaf litter" pattern I think i
need more diversity in my shapes, but i'm more confident that this isn't
going to look a mess.

The Redwood Rings are pretty--would make a fine dress or shirt as well as a picture or computer wallpaper.

Thanks! I am fantasizing being able to develop a series of California inspired prints. The redwoods were at hand, but i'm imagining California flowers like poppies and lupines.
