I've been playing with the Glass Eye pattern software. I'm interested in the various ways you all create your patterns. Do you use Glass Eye or some other software? Does anybody skip computers totally and do the whole process by hand?
If you use a computer, do you print out a large pattern in multiple sections on standard 8 1/2" x 11" and then tape them together, or do you have a printer/plotter that will handle most window sizes in a single sheet of paper?
Thanks, Michael
I've been doing it the same way for almost 27 years. Pen/pencil and paper. I find I'm more in tune with the artwork. I just can't see myself staring at a monitor and trying to draw a pattern up. I usually draw the full size outside demension shape to get a perspective of the acutal design. Then I draw the thumbnails.

************ That's really cool, neo. My guess is that you are an accomplished artist, too.Michael
25 years by hand on graph paper rolls, and no I am not a fine artist at all. This is a craft. Anyone can learn how to draw almost anything with a few clever paper folds, light table, ruler, and french curve.
