Seems like a celebration. Creative process is rarely simple or straightforward. We go over so many iterations to get to the place where everything makes sense. It takes persistence, which is your middle names :-)<br />You always march ahead.

It is not often that bloggers put the effort into trying to describe this process (probably because it is so intangible) so when one does I have great admiration for it. Well done for courage and taking a leap.

And I like the curve pieces in the top two pictures. You are right about that lower section: in this version it just doesn't sing. I do, though, like what you are doing with the printing/surface decoration and it feels like this is the right direction. These darker colours are only in your prints in smaller amounts and seem a bit heavy but adding the golds/oranges etc on top may well make the difference. If it were me I would keep on in this direction. Thanks for sharing this on AHIQ - it has really made me think.Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.com
