Colorful Stringwork

I found this technique to be fun and definitely challenging as this was my first time layering string work.  I set out without much of a plan and definitely have room for improvement. I used layered different size cookies to achieve the suspending strings down, then layered different geometrical shapes to obtain dimension.   While I’m not super satisfied with my first attempt, I appreciate trying new techniques and love this platform that encourages us to do just that.

And such fun colors!

Thank you Heather!

Lovely colors and patterns.

I love the use of color, especially since combining color and pattern (on a first attempt, no less) can be a tricky thing. The patterns and layering are fantastic. How did you come up with the designs? Did you plan them or improvise, or a bit of both?

Definitely should’ve had a better plan.  The plans were in my head and quickly went in different directions! Thank you for the sweet words!

Changing direction can sometimes be a good thing. Most of my designs are experiments where I have no idea how they will turn out (sometimes great, sometimes not so great), and some of my favorite designs happened by accident! I really like the complexity of your designs. The colors and the dimension add great visual interest.

Awesome!!!

Colorful and lovely

These are so beautiful Megan @Megan Britt!! I love all the wonderful color and the various designs you used to create your entry. Awesome job ❤️
