Diva Stripes, Joey Deci

...I think deci is ten in Latin, right? as in decimal?

So, wouldn't X be pronounced deci? Hmmm.

anyway, that was a fun string, and what a combination of patterns... Wedge, Diva Dance, Snookum, Showgirl, and Ticking.

Little Bit of Purple

So, I did create a square inside my tile, and put snookum on that. Then wedge is in the center. But where to put Showgirl? So that went in the corners, quite funky IMO...I filled up half the string with diva dance foxtrot. Ticking around the opposite corner, bigified.

When it came time for shading, showgirl just simply didn't show up...so I colored the ticking purple, and did some purple shading on showgirl...so she shows up! ha! Showgirl doesn't really work that well in a corner. oh well.

The Diva's challenge was...Stripes. I decided to fill a full page of my big sketchbook. Stringing it, the stripes took on a Hollibaugh look, and filling them all up was loads of fun.

I used Pinbawl, MA XIII, Atorm, Huggins, Baton, Meer, Diamond Drop with Zinger (that's the stripe that looks like little bugs flying all in a line hahahaha), Shnek, Cle, Striping, Coil, Trimond, and N'zeppel. There is a band of jewel looking running across the striping. I don't know what it's called, but I found it clicking around on pinterest. 

It is by Molossus, whose name some might recognize. Anyway, I found it when I was exploring steampunk a bit. And, some gems in the circles. Mmmmm.

Then, in the background I did some simple spirals in gray prismacolor pencil. Fun stuff, Maynard!

And, some playing I did in my old sketchbook...I just tucked it away today when i straightened up my "art nest"....

Playing with Dillo. 

doesn't that look like bird wings?
