Diva Challenge #178: Use My Initials

Diva Challenge 178 duo tangle using my own initials

What a great idea! My name is Heidi Whitney, so H. W.

My first one, I used Hollibaugh and Well. Both of these are favorites, and I wanted to play with well some, because it's so much fun.

hollibaugh deepens this piece tremendously

In this piece, I used well in many different forms. There's a cadent-like phase, and there's a phase that reminds me of gothic. You can make it into flowers whenever, so I did some well-behaved grid oriented flowers, but my very favorite way to do well is with randomly placed centers, so your flowers end up looking playful and funky. That version is the centerpiece.
Hollibaugh all around, which adds so much depth. Things ended up looking so layered here. Hollibaugh does that so well, which is why it's so much fun.
I also used String #23 (W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet) and had a lot of fun making this. Sorry it's blurry. Some day I'll get a scanner.







I decided to do a second piece, this time using string #8 (for H, the 8th letter : D )

I like the 3D effect of Waves

It is Hurakan, filling the center square of the string, with some baby Hurakans filling the corners. Then, somewhat following the theme of storms at sea, the pattern Waves.

I'm going to be playing with this challenge all week. There's LOADS of H and W patterns.
