I'm the Diva's Challenge Week #24

This week the challenge is to use stripes as a string. I thought that I'd use stripes in two directions.

I worked on my first tile and while I liked it, the tile seemed out of balance, crowded on one side and too empty on the other.  As usual, after I was done, I thought of a better or different way to put the idea forward.
Tile 1

Tile two has more empty space, less patterns on one side and more on the other.  I am quite pleased how it came out.


Tile 2
I'm going to try to tag all the different tangles in my pieces, but I don't always know the names of them. Some are variations of others that I've made up and some are known.  I've tagged the ones I know.  Hopefully, I'll get better at the names.

  5. These are wonderful and your lay out and placement are dynamic. Each level builds on the next. One is my fave also.

  7. I like them both....the top one looks like the cover of a book (an interesting one at that) and the bottom one is just very nice and clean while still maintaining good interest. You're awesome!!
