Shade ING
The Diva Challenge for this week was to utilize a new pattern called, "ING," like the internet bank. It's a fun little geometric pattern. My personal challenge was to use patterns that I'm just not happy with: Mooka, Pokeleaf and Tagh. Then, because of the hour I was working on this challenge (why, oh, why do I need to be awake at 3AM?), I added another layer of difficulty: to utilize shading in all it's different characteristics (depth, order, volume, and direction of light).
The result is not dissimilar to the giant cockroach that joined me in the kitchen. YIKES. I know, TMI, but...such is life after major flooding, I guess. I'm still not keen on all those other patterns, but I found ING to be a fascinating tangle.

Very beautiful especially after meeting this cockroach!
ReplyDeleteAnne, thank you for your kind comments and for taking the time out of your day to view my work, I sincerely appreciate it. Have a brilliant day! c
DeleteIt is kinda insectlike, like one of those fascinating South American stick bugs or something. A praying mantis or a glittering scarab beetle.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, it looks a lot like a water beetle. They take a bubble of water down with them, for an air supply, and dive under the water, then up again. THAT'S what this reminds me of!
DeleteI like your interpretation better than mine, Heidi Sue! Makes this thing seem less menacing somehow. I surely wish it were a scarab; they are so beautiful. But, then, everything in life has its place. The cockroach found its place in the insinkerator. Oh, that's just mean! Have a brilliant day, thanks for looking! c
