More Happy Bees?!!!
June 24, 2016
Early summer in the hive… bees venture out in search of sources for pollen and nectar… then communicate to fellow workers with a dance: round dance means food is close and waggle dance means they have to go farther from the hive. Design by Meredith Eliassen.
Introducing the Queen of Diamonds Gallery…
March 4, 2015
I seem to be seeing diamond designs… perhaps it is a response to Zentangle squares, maybe a subversive sensibility to turn squares on edge. I am going to start a gallery of images where diamonds are featured somehow, but not to alienate any shapes… this is an inclusive website, I will try to expand my repertoire of shapes in the near future.
Adapted from a “Queen of Diamonds” in a deck of playing cards, this design is by Meredith Eliassen, 2015.
Snake Nocturne…
February 23, 2015
Last Friday I went to a concert by the a cappella group called “Nordic Voices” held in San Francisco. They did things with their voices that I would not do at home without a voice coach present, and it was fantastic. San Francisco’s charming Norwegian consul and company were there too support the group too. The music ranged from madrigals to modern Norwegian composition and some of it was quite primordial!!! As a result this weekend’s drawing is a little different, kind of primordial and abstract, not exactly logical in design, but I like it, and hope you do too. I’ve got to go do Norway!!!
Snake Nocturne was designed by Meredith Eliassen, 2015.
