It's done, just like I planned!
The french knots for the oxygen atoms are bigger than the ones for nitrogen even. I hope you have a great day full of exploration. Enjoy the holidays. 😊

Caffeine and Molecular Representation
It's cold and dark. At the moment I am dependent on caffeine to function. Seriously, my collection of teas is expanding so much they're spilling from our shelves to the counter.
I want to create some felting/embroidery in appreciation, but right now I'm working through how I want it to look. There's the bond-lines formula, line drawing, dashes and wedges, bubbles...(excuse me for a sec, **flashbacks to orgo**).
I'm thinking of embroidering a line drawing, but instead of O and N on the non-hydrocarbon portions I'll use french knots in CPK coloring invented by Corey and Pauling (1952, Caltech). Check out the references below for more info on molecular representation history and conventions.
