Again used PatternShop to create this texture, so why not play with it too.

Little Green Apples
by Bobby Russell

And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school?goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun

And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
'Cause she's made that way

And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis

OK Odin. lolol

Yes; my madness continues. lol

The Tomato Vendetta
by Mason Williams

This song’s about the Tomato Vendetta,
and the tale of a man who let a
Hate for tomatoes cause him strife,
He lost his job, wife, home, car, kids, and life.

He’d go downtown to buy some groceries,
He went because his family was hungry,
He always bought red meat and potatoes
But he wouldn’t touch those ugly tomatoes…

He didn’t know why he hated tomatoes,
They were just as ugly as far as ugly goes,
There in the store, when no-one was watchin’,
He’d set melons on them and laugh at their squashin’.

One night after shopping and on his way home,
His loathing for tomatoes cut to the bone,
He just couldn’t stand the strain any more,
He vowed to destroy the Tomato Horde.

He turned around, and viciously hopin’
The grocery stores would still be open,
His eyes grew cold, for he was a man,
Whose Moment of Truth lay close at hand.

All over town, in every store,
Tomatoes were hurt and spilled on the floor,
Big melons, and turkeys, and large sacks of grits,
Were dumped on their sections to mash them to bits.

At the last store he finished his plan,
But on his way out, a delivery van,
Full of big ripe Tomatoes drove in and hit him,
Tomato Vendetta had claimed its victim.

The incident of the Tomato Vendetta,
Caused a sensation that was something that the
Public could relish, and readily snatch-up,
Popularly known as the t-o-m-a-t-o k-e-t-c-h-u-p….

Where do you find you poems Odin? lol

Odin, your poems are absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

They're not my poems; just having fun with some songs that came to mind when I saw Lyle's artwork.
Little Green Apples was originally written for Roger Miller and The Tomato Vendetta is by Mason Williams whose most famous song is Classical Gas.

I like the Classical Glass instrumental Odin; one of my favorites.

lyle: again, nice textures ! i haven't decided on downloading patternshop yet, but i'm very tempted - it's those sourceforge installers that's keeping me from it now, i found a working link in the end.
odin: i have to look up that tomato vendetta song somewhere - it's just my type of song!

i've taken lots of pictures of boring stone walls and things on my outings with erisian (and he's laughed at me for it, but one day i'm gonna show him!) and the plan is to turn them into big, seamless textures and patterns. these images are demos of the big original pattern and the smaller pattern i'll probably use most - the original demo pictures were on an a4 at 300 ppi, but they took me too long to upload, so these are scaled down by 50%.

edit: someone's getting a bit old, i think - forgot the actual images! here they are:


the small pattern is attached in this post, but if you want the big one you'll have to download it from mine and erisian's dropbox - here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b3p5fwijepksf4s/seamless%20rock.pat?dl=0

wallace: nice! a stormtrooper pattern is what we all need!

Yes, I believe there are not many Stormtrooper patterns out there. I can't really figure out what someone might utilize this pattern for.

Since I've been on a mosaic binge of late, thought I would make this one seamless. Details at my Deviant.

That is really nice Lyle... Love the texture

Thanks for the comments; used G'MIC's faded array to make this one seamless.

Pieced in Inkscape and tiled in Gimp using Plastic or Glass scm.

Really nice, Kimba. Nice bright sharp colors. I do not know anything about inkscape. A lot of people are using it. Is it easier to do the shapes?

Works for me, Kimba.
