Other Patterns:  Here are a few odds and ends -- experimental patterns, unusual effects, and happy accidents.  

I call this one "Slinkies" -- tho technically I guess it's just a Feather pattern done over a Chevron:

This is a Chevron pattern, made by first combing the colors up the tray, then back down again.  A Chevron  is hardly ever printed by itself, since it's a bit hard to focus on, but it is an important intermediate stage on the way to many other patterns, such as the Thistle:

For some reason, on this Free-form pattern, the paint went all gritty and grainy -- I don't know why.  Then, of course, the Daniel Smith store in Seattle wanted me to make them 30 more just like it!  I had to tell them I couldn't do it.

This is a large-scale curved Nonpareil pattern.  Large-scale patterns are useful on fabric or paper items that are usually seen from a distance, like curtains, windowshades, lampshades, clothes, or pillows.

Not sure if this has a name, I call it a Cathedral pattern:

I call this a Star pattern, which I made by accident one day.  I've tried many times to duplicate it, but I forgot how I did it!

I call this one a Flare pattern (with spots):
