What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

¹³ And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

¹⁴ His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

¹⁵ And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword ...

This is supposed to be “one like unto the son of man” with “a sharp twoedged sword” coming “out of his mouth”. However, the sword looks a lot like a necktie. I dunno, all my research of this vision shows me no clever solutions to the sword-out-the-mouth deal. Some Jesii look like they’re holding the sword in their mouth the way a dog holds a bone; others just have a sword floating somewhere near the face. I’m trying to limit the design to 64 points so it can morph with the other designs (lion, lamb, cathedral, rose windows ...

I’m not a Christian, but I keep animating Christian symbols in this mandala thingy, to put towards my Animated Apocalypse. Meanwhile maybe it’ll be useful for Christians to stare at, if they’re into that sort of thing.

I could fiddle with this toy forever, but I should be moving on to something else.

This is a variation of the Rose Window. Same controls, same shape, I just added one more control dial.

My guilloché simulation experiments came from animating stars. Last night I realized a cross is a 4-pointed star. And voilá.

This has potential.

I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time. The time being in the middle of the night. So when I got up this morning I made this thing in Moho Pro. It is not all I’d hoped for, but it does work.

Later I added another set of points, “C”, yielding the below:

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven”

–Revelation 4.1

² ….and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

³ And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

–Revelation 4

I don’t even have 3-D animation software, let alone 4-D, but I wanted a tesseract cycle. This is the product of studying videos and doing a lot of fiddling in 2-D Moho Pro to approximate one.

12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

² And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

— The Apocalypse
