Pattern was everywhere in the pictures in yesterday's post - though as Helen pointed out in her comment, it all worked in harmony. The artist and textile designer Raymond Honeyman is deeply interested in pattern and creates intricate needlepoint designs for Ehrman with repeating motifs, layered or interwoven in his distinctive style. In this video, Raymond Honeyman discusses his working method and explains how, among other things, music and dance have influenced him.

Indeed AnnieVal. My sentiments exactly. "Charming" was my very first impression of Raymond as well. Very gentle too. Certainly having an occupation such as this would contribute to a gentle nature. :).
Being a needle-worker myself, I was intrigued as to how the patterns are created, designed and made. Pixels magnified! Fascinating subject.
