Firework front and side

The ring type fireworks are best seen when viewed head on.  
 
Sometimes, the shell goes a certain way and the effect is seen from the side . . .

A more frontal view of a ring type firework lets the effect be seen:

Potato chip real vs. enlarged

 
Texture is enlarged
Enlarged and real

The potato chips on this potato chip bag may look a bit "off".  That is because a real potato chip from inside this bag has been placed on top of the "enlarged to show texture" potato chips.  The real potato chip is close to size to that of the "enlarged" potato chip.  That was not the largest potato chip found inside this bag.  A real potato chip as large as the "enlarged" potato chip had been found; it was consume before its size could be recorded.

Security envelope plaid


plaid pattern security envelope
10 by 10 minus 1 and 10

To make this plaid pattern, start with a grid pattern rotated by 45 degrees.  Set up a 10 line by 10 line grid and on each side of that grid, remove one line.

Note that the blank areas in the pattern were caused by printer problems.
