Looking more like a vintage turn table than drawing device, the Cycloid Drawing Machine is inspired by drawing machines from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, long before the invention of the Spirograph. Although these early toys like the harmonograph also produced complex designs, they were limited in scope. The Cycloid Drawing adjusts this previous oversight by utilizing a moving fulcrum and providing several interchangeable gears to make the machine infinitely adjustable. More

Was searching for cool illustrations online recently. One blog lead me to another and what I stumbled upon is a very interesting art form. Rosie James is a textile artist who uses a sewing machine as her drawing tool. Now, being a former fashion design student myself, I've definitely dabbled on a Bernina or two and broken more needles than I care to admit.
