Knowing that "man made" was coming up I've saved this just because I like it. It isn't anything to do with grids and stripes but I want a play with it.
I'm not much of a techie but this component from a floor light is beautiful. It has lots of bits all of which I'm sure have a purpose. In life it has shiny, glittery parts but that's not very evident on the photo.
This circuit board is by no means flat but I wanted to take some sort of a print from it. I used a heat sensitive foam to make a printing block (although the foam wasn't big enough for the whole thing):
I tried once or twice and this is the clearest. Because I was in a hurry (so the foam didn't loose its definition) I didn't clean off the paint between prints, hence the muddy colour.
The shape of the copper coil is the most appealing image:
I experimented with different colour combinations - some are better than others.

| The only thing that's different in the next two images is the background. See how the colours seem to alter. |

| This resembles a night sky |
 |
| Not enough contrast |
 |
| This looks like something from nature |
Because there is a wreath look to this and Christmas is on the way I made a corny image by putting in some holly berries.

| Corny Christmas |
It was interesting also to look at the shapes on the foam more closely:
This one was deep and full of character but on the print it only showed as a splodge.
