Patterning with Kite colors. 
Patterning with colored bow tie pasta. This is the first time I have attempted to color pasta. I used the same method that I used to color my rainbow rice here. I dabble in cake decorating so I have some gel colors - I found that the gel stayed a little sticky so next time I will use the regular liquid kind! 
Ordering the kite by the length of it's tail.
Measuring how many bow ties tall each tail is.

The flower patterning would be cute with rays on a sun, too.

I just have to say that I had a "DUH" moment with the kites and pasta. I've never thought of that and I've had the colored bow-tie pasta for a long time! I got so attached to the "butterfly" shape that I never thought of kites!
Great job!! Love the pasta idea! CLEVER!!!
Thanks for sharing all you do!
