’Rods of color by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4037733): Rods of color on an indigo background. My entry in Spoonflower's 'Microorganisms' Contest. Experimental reveal: oil on canvas. © Su Schaefer 2015 Printed nicely on basic cotton - shown in the thumbnail (slightly larger scale - double click for a clearer view); another shows a detail of the design, without Spoonflower's fuzzies, and equivalent to an 8" x 8" swatch @ 225 ppi, the current setting. Microorganisms, seen only through a microscope, can be bacterium, virus, or fungus. Bacteria are classified by morphology (form, or shape) and aggregation (grouping or massing), and the basic forms are spheres (coccus) and round-ended cylinders (bacillus) which people who talk normal English call ‘rods’. Hence my entry and its title: ‘Rods of color’. Wikipedia: Bacterial cellular morphologies includes a neat figure of pictorial examples.
