Haven't posted for a while, but there's some lovely stuff appearing here.
Great saxophones, Jim's terminally intricate chalice and I love Ken's
chocolate. Very appetising!

Anyway, here's a couple of pretty pictures that have emerged from recent
work. They're intended as ingredients to a larger picture, so fine detail
is not particularly important since they'll probably appear very small in
final form. Firstly, medieval-type castle banners, blowing in the wind...

....and secondly, a Wright glider, hopefully to be found soaring on the
thermals!

I can only hope they'll find their way into your knot-world! Nice job, I 
especially like that plane.

Those banners are intriguing.  They're all different; did you hand-make each
one? Or is it some kind of random technique, perturbing a single object
somehow?

They're bicubic patches. First I choose a direction for the wind, then push
the control points in that direction semi-randomly. The top corners are not
touched, to give the impression of being anchored. I wrote a macro to
generate them given basic parameters (size, degree of perturbation etc). It
probably looks a lot cleverer than it is!
