Most of my patterns start with three somewhat dark base colors and a fourth color which is used to lighten and brighten the other three. This fourth color is usually White, but I sometimes also use Tan, Yellow or Gray for other interesting effects. The finished product is called a "cane" and can be compared to a roll of slice-and-bake cookie dough where the pattern is visible in any cross-section.

The TRIANGLE cane begins as a 3-way partial Skinner blend between slightly-lightened versions of the base colors. It is rolled into a log in such a way that the blend is visible down the length of the log. The log is re-shaped into a triangle, cut in half, and re-assembled so that the face of it is a square made out of two base-to-base triangles. This square cane is reduced, cut into quarters and re-assembled multiple times, resulting in a variety of triangles in the three base colors and every color in between.

This pattern was first developed in 2006
