The
Diva Challenge this week was to draw the string with eyes shut tight. My first was not one that I really liked, but I posted it on my
Flickr feed for full disclosure. It lacks contrast and some of the patterns are kind of squished into the small spaces. So I tried again and I'm much happier with my official response:
This one has contrast, movement, flow, space and a bunch of favorite tangle patterns: crescent moon, nipa, sez, cadent, facet and fassett with holibaugh ribbons following the string. I didn't use all the teenie spaces the string created and I think that worked out just fine.
Thanks so much for the kind comments that have been bestowed upon me and for taking the time to view my work. Be sure to check out all the tangly people at the
Diva Challenge, each and every week. This week in particular the responses are sure to be very different as everyone is starting from a different vantage point. It's definitely a method I'll try again.
I like the way you explained what you did. This tile does have a lot of movement and I like the negative space you left.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JL! Isn't it always tricky to decide when to stop? Put the pen down!? This one kind of told me where not to go...so the negative is a positive! Thanks for taking your time and spending it here! Have a brilliant day! c
Deletethe tiny white spaces work well with the flow of your tile :) love that hollibaugh ribbon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alice! I think Hollibaugh is my favorite. Or Crescent Moon? They're all fun...Have a brilliant day! c
DeleteVery pretty tile! Especially I like your Crescent Moon version!
ReplyDeleteDanke, LonettA! I like to play with Crescent Moon A LOT! I'm glad you like what I did with it this time. Have a brilliant day! c
DeleteThis is a very nice tile - well balanced - I like the ribbon running though it - it sort of takes your eye on a journey
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kia! Life is a journey and you never know quite where it may take you; enjoy the ride! Have a brilliant day! c
DeleteI think you did a great job; I really like the dark part (crescent moon) in it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne! Crescent Moon is a pattern I play with A LOT so sometimes it just dominates and it has a starring roll here, too. Glad you like it! Have a brilliant day! c
DeleteI like the say the patterns that you picked created such nice contrast in your tile.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lady Kate! This was a great opportunity to use some favorites and work on a range of values, not just that middle ground I seem to favor. Thank you for taking the time to look and comment; I appreciate it. Have a brilliant day! c
