Onions!

This started out as an experiment with drunkard’s paths, and ended up as a bag of onions. (What’s the collective noun for onions?)

I liked the shape that emerges as different parts of two onions overlap. Sometimes it’s an orange peel, or maybe two gothic arches back to back. Sometimes it’s a star. And other times it’s a wonky kind of double-headed curvy, pointy thing.

If I was going to use ‘real’ transparency – that is, colours that make more sense – I’d probably try something like this version… where the dark teal and lemon yellow make a dirty green, and the light ochre and dark teal make a rusty brown.

But to be honest, I prefer the ‘unreal’ version, with a single colour for all the overlaps. It might not make sense from a colour perspective, but I think it’s a bit more eye-catching and fun!
