Default Stripes!

Playin around in my backyard and decided on doing this design. I didn't finish the design because while I was mowing, I noticed that my keys had apparently fallen out of my pocket, and that prompted a foot search for my keys that I still haven't found. Anyway, thought it looked cool.

Nifty. That's a lot of extra work around the edges though.

I don't use a roller or stripe kit so if I go over it again it usually erases the previous stripe and replaces it with the new direction.

I have a book that is about striping, so some of my ideas come from that, but most of the time I just start mowing and do the design as it comes to me.

I wish you had a way of taking aerial shots of the lawns. They would make for such amazing shots.
