The climate change prompt was a hard one for me. I finally settled on depicting trees and Lewis structures.

A Google search for Lewis Structures

Lewis structures are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. The Lewis structure was named after Gilbert N. Lewis, who introduced it in 1916. Why am I putting Lewis structures in my quilt about climate change featuring trees? Because carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse effect and plants absorb carbon dioxide, which could help alleviate the greenhouse effect. Plants also give off oxygen. Plus, Lewis structures are just cool design elements that fit well with my symbographic style.

Check back at the end of November to see my finished quilt.

  1. Hm, why haven’t I heard of Lewis structures on The Big Bang Theory?! But then, I have Deb Cashatt! Thank you.

  2. This is one exciting take on your Climate Change quilt, Deb…I recall Lewis studies way back in 1966 while at Richmond University and celebrate your focus here! Can’t wait to see!

  3. Deb, you dug deep into Chemistry, that’s very clever. How interesting it is to see the different opinions about the climate. Everyone in their own way. The big reveal is coming soon and I’m very curious about the results. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the different insights into this important theme.
