day 21: pretty pattern

Patterns consisting of concentric circles are on the top of my favorite-patterns-of-all-time list.  I've used the pattern in my daughter's birth announcement and also on her baptismal candle.  A couple weeks ago, I convinced my better half that we could make this pretty pattern out of TP tubes and hang it above our bed as wall art.  We both converged on the vision of an all white art piece, which would pop against our chocolate wall.  This is what it looks like so far...unglued...unfinished...

One TP roll makes 1 "circle".  One paper towel roll makes 2 & 1/2 "circles".   6 TP rolls + 1 paper towel roll later = about 1 ft. 2 in in length.  Thanks to momC & tintin for their donations!  We just need 7 more batches of rolls like this & we'll have enough to fit above our bed.  So, we're still collecting/accepting unwanted rolls! 

As if I'd stop at one project!  I have to make a colorful version for my daughter's room.  I'm inspired by this art piece "Collective" by Jodi Fuchs.  

I first saw it inside CostPlus World Market over a year ago. She's described the piece as "inspired by the overlapping circles of connection on facebook". I looked her up and found she also sells poster reprints in her etsy shop HomeShanti.  Whenever possible, I prefer buying direct from the artist, plus it makes acquiring this beautiful artwork more of a reality for me! 

Oh, don't miss out on all the pretty patterns posted by the rest of the challengers here:
