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.
