Week 39: Adobe Illustrator

Hexdots © Karen Thiessen, 2012

Even though I'm wading through the chapters on working with text* in my Adobe Illustrator manual, I still need the occasional hit of playing with pattern. I created the green shapes by making a bunch of hexagons in varying sizes and then joining them together with the expand button. The pattern was a tad dull until I added red dots. It has the feel of hand grenade shaped olives with pimentos. Do you see it?
