Abydos, Egypt glyphs

abydos lintel glyphs-carvings

Amazing that it’s been almost two decades since we photographed these unusual (to say the least) hieroglyphs in a lintel high above the floor of the ‘new’ temple (the one built over the top of the layer of the Osireion temple which features the famous “Flower of Life” and Seed of Life” designs) in Egypt. The lyrics [...]

Details about the contents of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook, instructions for creating the graphics therein, etc.

Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook - cover

I just found this post in the archives of my personal blog here, which properly belongs on this site, so I’m reposting on GeometryCode.com. As mentioned toward the end, I am MOST grateful for all the support everyone has given me over the years since my first book (Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook) was initially published [...]

Flower of Life – Second Harmonic

Second Harmonic Overlay - Flower of Life (FOL)

I recently had an email inquiry (and then a follow-up technique) from a reader of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook about how to replicate the “Flower of Life – with Second Harmonic overlay” illustration on page 87 using classic straightedge and compass techniques. Here is her illustration, with comments. The basic technique is to subdivide the [...]

IMG_0024Rosettes-zonohedralStack

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the Zometool factory in Longmont, Colorado. There, my favorite (hands down!) geometric toy, er, I mean modeling system, is manufactured. Paul and Carlos gave me a tour of the amazing technology where these wonderful plastic components are made by the gazillions. The secret of the hub, rumor has [...]

Zome-SGDS-page236-GoldenRectangle-Dodeca-And-Icosahedron

Zometool, with the addition of green struts, can build many of the designs – both 2 and 3 dimensional – that appear in the pages of Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) and other 2D and 3D models. Now, more than ever, this superlative modeling system (which is also the coolest toy in the geometric Universe, [...]

Nanodot Newbie

Nanodots Magnetic Constructors (216 NdFeB Magnets) in original packaging

I recently started experimenting with Nanodots Magnetic Constructors (a 216 magnet set of remarkably strong (and fun!) little spherical (NdFeB) magnets. They are enjoyable to play with just from a tactile, sensory perspective, since they are like a set of high-tech micro-planets you can squeeze and morph in your hand like modeling clay … and the next [...]

The transparency of the inner cube [...]
