Within minutes of posting yesterday’s entry, I revised the image I’d posted in it:

I think it’s now at least two times better than it was.  Amazing how important locating everything can be.  Yet I still don’t think it’s as right as it could be.

I almost forgot about my blog today–because I spent four or five hours working on the image below.  It took so long because I tried too smooth the curves pixel by pixel, and remove an immense amount of noise, pixel by pixel.  Of course, anyone knowing Paint Shop or Photo Shop would have done what I did in ten minutes, probably.  But I got the job done.  It’s one of seven images planned that grow in size until they form a frame for my Mathemaku No. 10, which features a heart, as will the final image of the frame.  It’s an attempt to make a cover for an issue of Journal of Mathematics and the Arts that will probably be rejected.
