Division/Marking

C10 with support lines for multipole

Directions

  1. Wrap a mari and mark a C10 with blue.
  2. Add lines for a 32 multipole with blue.
  3. Use multiple of three method to add lines for a 92 multipole with red.
  4. Use multiple of three method to add lines for a 272 multipole with yellow.
  5. Use multiple of three method to add lines for a 812 multipole with green.
  6. Use multiple of three method to add lines for a 2432 multipole with tan. Leave off the lines that go through the innermost green penatgons and the row just beyond that.

Notes

This is another multifacet experiment with the marking being done in different colors so that the marking becomes the design. It uses the multiple of three method to build up layers with each layer being done in a different color. I think this is the method used to create the large white ball pictured on pg. 24 of the book referenced above. Unfortunately I ran out of room so did not complete the last round. I don't particularly like the colors, I was just picking from my stash to find something to do the experiment with. I think the experiment was a success even if the temari isn't entirely beautiful. I will probably wrap over it and try again with colors I like now that I know it will work out. I continue to be amazed at how fast it is to do these using this method. I am also finding that these types of designs are difficult to photograph. They need some perspective to see the design nicely and don't do terribly well in closeups the way most of the other designs do. They look fabulous from across the room and then are interesting as you move in to see more and more detail. But without the across-the-room perspective it is hard to know what you are seeing in the details.
