The demise of the Transmonster website has forced me to figure out a new weird project since my Word of the Day palettes could obviously not continue. I always felt CL patterns have been underrecognized, so I took it upon myself to start a tumblr for them: Patternalism.

May you find crazy stuff on there.

ETA: Recently (late January), Tumblr has altered their posting system. This has made me unable to use the badges anymore, although I want to say that I DO still credit the Colourlovers who made these patterns by using the Tumblr source links. I have not yet figured out a satisfying way to include the information in the layout.

oh, that is really neat! :D

wow that's awesome!

nice one!

Just saw that you posted one of mine on tumblr earlier this month. Thank you for the honor.

Wow, that's really nifty!

I saw one of my colorings of Praxicalidocious' template Tesseract on there! Thanks!

Wist pointed me here; so thanks to both of you. :)

A thought: In the absence of badges, I'd really love it if you would be so kind as to tag the name of the colourist and the template maker along with the other description tags.

Great idea, and i look forward to seeing your future picks.

That's actually not a bad Idea, and I'll to implement it the best I can.

Yes, please include the template maker, otherwise your average viewer will see the misattributed design out of context of CL, and think that the colourist created the graphic. As one who spends many hours creating graphics, it irks me to become totally removed from my copyrighted creation in the eyes of someone outside the site. Thanks!

I've tagged all the "new" posts without badges, and will tag all future posts, but I almost certainly won't be adding the tags to older posts. I hope it's understandable that doing that to ca. 1300 posts would be far more than I can do.

It was very considerate to go through the trouble to recognize all the people who contributed to the work. It would be nice if all that info just came with, but alas. Anyway, I know you are just posting stuff you like and didn't have to do it so on behalf of all the grateful for being chosen... Thank you.

Thank you, Circeus! I'd only been hoping to have the new 'badge-less' posts tagged.

I really, really appreciate it. :)

New update: It turns out that Tumblr still serves the old posting page to IE, so using a user agent spoofer lets me upload badges again (though they're not going to show up on the page until almost 3 weeks from now.)! I'm not stopping petting up user tags, though.

That is quite the collection! Found some new patterns to love, and I saw my Doodly Doo pattern on there as well. :) Thanks!
