Some tessellations I'm interested in, just making designs of them...
Here was an oil-on-paper sketch of a pattern I liked, everything UNlucky in a circus. Stepping into the ring left foot first, sitting with feet outside the ring, peacock feathers, wearing green, and a bird flying into the tent.
Red and yellow and ochre because that's what circuses DO.

Red and a golden yellow! That's the circus for you! Red, yellow and green lights to make things more intense.
The tropical fruit thing gave me a good laugh - you're right! Totally right!
And I LOVE working with oils! The colors are intense yet never gaudy, and so buttery in appliqué.
But yeah. The three colors you never wear onstage unless you have a valid excuse - Black (unless you're Hamlet), Green (unless you're Ophelia, because it used to be that theaters would put a roll of grass-type green velvet on the stage for death scenes, so the expensive costumes wouldn't get dirt on them when you fell on the floor (hence "Laid him on the green") and green came to mean death), and yellow (because Satan used to wear yellow in mediaeval passion plays - the present "red" came by way of disparaging Odin the All-father). Mirrors are bad luck on stage and circus, because you'll see death behind you. The Scottish Play has a lot of death in it. Peacock feathers are an evil eye. Sitting with your ass inside the ring means a grave. Birds that fly into the tent fly off with your souls (and have apparently caused the death of more than a few distracted acrobats).
Nobody likes death. X3
