The p square is strange, especially compared to the Y square.

I look forward to seeing what you share.

Very strange.

Hmmm.. can’t find a red push pin anywhere.

Thanks Karen. I am going to try this now. So nice to be here with my friends. 🙂

This is so interesting! It’s not a detail I would have picked up on! Thank you.

Yes. I went into parenthood without a clue about the time demands. Most days, for so many years, I could not carve out even 10 minutes for my own thoughts. But I gave it my all and my grown up children are the light of my life and now my days are my own.

Good work, Michael and Michael. Link?

Oh my, let me encourage you to write your blog posts! Personally, my blog stats are stronger, and I think it has something to do with the fact that people want content that is more engaging and genuine than it is dark and contrived.

It’s taking me awhile to settle in over here, but I’m beginning to get comfortable. One thing that I super like about being here, which is completely new, is writing descriptions that describe pictures. I’m learning to be loose and have fun in that behind-the-curtain space. Such fun…a bonus really.

So many shapes and lines interwoven and waiting, beckoning, taunting me with their symmetry, boldness, and restraint, to do more with them, which I finally did.

The back story on the drawing that dominated the middle month of my summer bookzoompa.wordpress.com/2025/08/07/g...

Hi Sam!

My hand drawn mage based on an Alhambra. repeat pattern . Within this ten inch square there are lines colored with red, chartreuse, turquoise, purple and a bit of gold and black. The systems of interlocking and woven paths are kind of mind boggling and seems to have worked their way into my soul .

A close up of my drawing of the Alhambra tiling. Even in this small area there are dozens of under and oven weaving of lines. There are many shapes that are locked together.

Recently took a class that deciphered the line work in an Alhambra tiling. I decided to color and weave it, too. Then went looking for a photo of the actual wall. Hard to find! Was so pleased to find a collection taken by @hpicciotto.bsky.social posted on www.mathed.page/symmetry/spa....

Thank you. I enjoyed the journey around your pentagon.

This is beautiful, Bob.

A shy little plastic toy peeking out of the miniature origami basket she has claimed as her own. The basket is made from a 6 inch square, is decorated with delicate pink flowers on a green background, and seems very pleased to be the container for such an adorable toy

Well ,then, I'll follow you.

Third Grade Classroom Project Most of my teaching these days is for adults on zoom, but I sure do miss time with youngsters. Currently, the Zhen Xian Bao classes that Susan Joy Share and I are teaching are in full swing. On my …

...will be included in the what I'm putting together. Just wrote a blog post with some more pretty pictures. Would welcome any comments and suggestions from teachers.

a regular hexagonal prism, an irregular hexagonal prism. and a triangular prism, all made with black paper. There are designs on the faces of the prisms that illuminate the decomposition of the larger shape. The pieces stay together by matching up magnetized surfaces.

It's always a good day when I have something to share on Bluesky. I'm designing solids to use with third graders who are have shapes and magnets coming up in their curriculum. Am designing nets that play well with a punch out pattern block shapes. Irregular and regular hexagon and pentagons +

Please do!

Euler Road sign in Churchville NY, with a cornfield in the background

Euler Street sign in Queensland Australia in a residential area.

Thank goodness for search engines. Found two Eulers. One in Queensland Australia, the other in Churchville NY.

Makes me wish to see an Euler Street sign.

Marbled paper, called the Galen design after Galen Berry who figured out some super tricky moves to make this.

I love that today's #MathArtMarch is Swirly. Here's one of my hand marbled papers, which shows a super tricky design , dubbed the Galen after creator Galen Berry. I think that it could be classified as a glide reflection design. Certainly not perfect but it's got the structure? thoughts?

keep us posted on this! best of luck to you.

Geometric shapes on a desk. Compound of two cubes and its convex hull.

So pleased to be part of seattlemathmuseum.org/intersections Mathematics and Art Intersections show! Scroll down through the link above to see lots of awesome work by many people.

Geometric shapes that nest together. A cube, a rhombic dodecahedron, and a 12 sided box

not on my blog, but in my class sites. Am happy to share with you anything you'd like, but you'd have to meet with me so that I could explain a few things. Here's a photo of the cube that goes inside, the expanded RD, and a specially made 12 sided box to put them in.

Oh wait, I see now, yes you can make a hollow rhombic dodecahedron from one shashibo cube, I've made the shashibo cube from paper but hadnt connected it to the RD net I recently made. The shashibo has all triangular faces. The one I've been doing recently is made up of 6 square based pyramids.

Wasn’t sure what do post for day 3 of #MathArtChallenge #MathArtMarch -Nature- until I saw @baabbbaash.bsky.social day 1 post. Perfect inspiration.

#MathArtMarch day 2: On a square grid

Colorful bubble print

I generally shy away from daily prompts. However I find @ayliean.bsky.social pretty irresistible. Hence #MathArtMarch Day 1 Circles. This is a bubble print , where you can see the 120 degree angles that form where three bubbles meet.
