Regressing unrepentently back to childhood

[mitchy]

Anyone else remember Altair Designs? Geometric shapes that formed patterns that you could colour in to form all sorts of crazy pics? They were a mainstay of wet school lunchtimes when I was at middle school and I loved 'em to bits. I have been looking for the books for years but could never find them. Now, however, thanks to the power of the internet, they're mine again. MINE! ALL MIIIIINE! BWAHAHAHAHA!!

*coughs*

Which is a long winded way of saying I finally found out what brand name they're now listed under on amazon (thank you, wikipedia) and promptly ordered 3 books. And bought a giant pack of felt tip pens. So if anyone wants me, I'll be curled up on this end of the sofa, squeaking happily, listening to music and colouring to my heart's content. I find it ridiculously relaxing :)

I used to like these - I'd vary wildly between creating symmetrical colours schemes that covered the whole thing or just sorta doing what came naturally ...
