I'm really not sure whether I've seen this idea somewhere before, or whether it just popped out of my head ... but I wanted to see what would happen when you cut through some of the outer rings of multi-strip eccentric coils - and this little flower is the result:
I quite liked the effect of this, so I tried another one with a little asymmetric curling added in:
Then finally I lost the plot completely and created this very abstract-looking fish (the cut shape of the eccentric coils kept on shouting "fish tails" out to me!!):
Well, it keeps me amused ... and now, I really must get on with making some more cards, as my market stock is getting worryingly low!
So much to quill ... so little time ...
this certainly is something 'refreshing', i mean other than coils or scrolls. like the effect a lot!!
ReplyDeleteik like it very much.
