It was suggested that we listen to the song "Starry-Eyed Surprise" and do a tile with the theme of stars. I really liked the blind string challenge from last week, and decided to do blind strings for these star tiles. In the first one I did blind star shapes one on top of the other. I like how Carole Ohl's tangle Hurakán looks like a distant galaxy!
In the second I did blind star shapes offset from the others. I seem to have opted for a lot of thin line striping, hatching and cross-hatching, in these.
Once I completed these two, I thought, "Who said a star has to have five points?" So I may try some others with more points.
What will next Monday bring?
I like them both...

Love these stars interpenetrating their engergies!
ReplyDeleteMargaret, these both are awesome. I especially like the little circles on the bottom one that look like little rivets fastening one star to another. Your use of Hurican is very cool, and has such a different effect than Maria's use of the same tangle on her star. It is amazing how tangles can be so versatile.
ReplyDeletereally fun!!! The way you create layers is stunning!
ReplyDeleteLoving the layered effect. I see more star tangles in my future...
ReplyDeleteLove them both, great depth on each.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Margaret! I love all the layers and overlap and I love all of it!!!
ReplyDeleteOooooo... These are lovely!

ReplyDeleteOh, WOW! Especially love the second one.
ReplyDeleteLove the second 'shuffled' stars. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stars! And stars can have more (or less!) points then 5. My cookie cutter star has 8 points.
ReplyDeleteI love them both! I always know I am in for a treat when I come here!
ReplyDeleteBoth are fantastic! My favorite is the second one.
ReplyDeleteThese are both great. Can't choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed at drawing the star shapes with your eyes closed - pretty cool and they turned out lovely - also love the layered look.
ReplyDeleteBoth wonderful!! Love the shading and the grayscale of the first one!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, I hadn't thought about the shapes showing up so well with my eyes closed. I think perhaps I had enough overlapping shapes in the string that I could pick and choose which lines to use when I started with the pen (and then ignore other lines). In the first tile, you can see how the left line of the top left point doesn't match the line on the other side.
