The formation that appeared in the great East Field, in Alton Barnes in 2005, is one of my all-time favourite formations. After doing some preliminary work on its geometry back in 2012, I recently found my original sketches and decided to complete the work I started. It also seemed apt to be doing this in the lead up to Christmas, as this was no doubt a Star of great Wonder…

Its always difficult to keep up with drawing the circles during the season. Some drawings come easily, but some are a much more taxing proposition. Funnily enough, it’s not always the large and complex formations that present a problem, although as you can imagine, the more complex a formation the longer it might take to draw. Sometimes you come across a formation (or two) that you just don’t see geometrically, and it is they that can have you scratching your head for weeks, or sometimes months on end.
