Strange Shapes...

This week's challenge to use odd traced shapes as a string was, well, challenging!  I had a few trials and it turned out that I liked the first and last ones the best. I did have a tough time finding things that were more interesting than circles to trace, but then circles can be pretty nice too!

This string was two tracings of a star shaped pin/button and one of a lip balm tin. The tangles are Phicops and Pepper with a pattern I am calling "Cobbles" in the background. For more on that check out the post from last week where I also used it.


The last one was tacings of a few leftover and recently empty Easter eggs. This one was fun! The piece ended up being rotated upside down, but I like the fact that the original string is both visible in some spots and not really evident in others. I also like the negative space in this one.



Must run, have a great weekend!

    Beautiful tiles. I like the bottom one that has the egg shapes hiding in it. They remind me of those beautiful Ukrainian eggs you see this time of year.

    Both tiles are awesome! I love your cobble background that you used on the first one and the eggs are just plain fun. Very nice tiles!

    Both are beautiful; I like the circles leaving the tile in the second.

    I love your first tile!
    Cobble looks like something I have to try for myself and your Phicobs and Pepper are awesome!

    I love them both! The first one is fantastic 3D, very good shaded. And because of the minimalism (only 3 patterns) it has a stunning effect! I just pinned it on my board..!

    I agree, both are interesting. I like the "cobbles" you made---very do-able, but just beautiful with the shading. :-)
