Whoah, you guys sure did get those heads up quick. I like Harry's idea of doing a post that compiles them all right before the event. Until then, I'll add mine to the pile.
 
I used sand paper to cross hatch a face into a painted ground. Then I printed a layer of Gina's flowers over it with a semi transparent and iridescent ink.
 
Thanks to Dave and Joyce for putting this together. A great event, for a great cause, put together by great people.

Like the rest of the East Coast, I'm snowed in today. I figured I'd take the time to follow up on my last post. I've been experimenting with ways to make patterns that keep the look and feel of our non pattern work. We usually prefer to push our elements out to the edge of the composition, allowing elements to be cropped off. In making these patterns, we've found that it's much easier to contain each unit within it's own rectangle. I'm still experimenting with ways of getting the expansive feel of our more full compositions. So far, I think the landscape in the last post was my best attempt.

With the batch I'm posting here, my goal was to more directly address the grid while coming up with something that still feels characteristically us.

Funny, looking at this last one here, my eye keeps going to that dark optic on the left. I didn't see it before, but I guess that one will need a little more tweeking. So it goes..
