More Failures Than Success
This isn’t working, and I haven’t figured out why. I have my suspicions, but feel free to tell me what you think. The good news is that I can just make more or I can go and work back into this by printing over it again. I’m stuck in bed all day with this summer bug, so I have all the time in the world to obsess.

i don’t know, it didn’t ping for me, i thought maybe it lacked some flow.

Did you use the word ping after hearing about the new Apple Music Social Media thing? You are such an iWhore.

This is excellent. The textures behind the grass leaves is great. Try another one with more open space: ie, less grass-leaf forms.

good idea. even thought i was thinking more, but less is good too.

i think it’s really beautiful. i like this sort of falling form or wave motif you’ve been working with.

thank you steph, i keep finding myself working with this shape, almost inadvertently, because it does recall both the idea of falling, rising, and being collected. it’s not conscious, and so, when i am making these things i am not always totally certain about what i want from the end.
i am happy to hear it is resonating on some level with people other than myself.

It looks like long pine needles on a piece of soft pine. It’s not bad, at all. Just doesn’t flow.
Take look at this:

the linear qualities of the font are fun, and helps your flow problem. It’s also just a fun video to play with

yeah i agree completely, and that link was so super fun!
i can’t decide of i want to work back into this one, or just go start a new one. you were right about the materials btw.

I like this. I think you should keep working with the same elements, it could be a nice series. I am see good progression with your work. They keep getting better and better.
