Brushpopper Report post Posted June 15, 2011 Yes, it's my pattern. I was trying to think of new motifs. I looked out at my back garden and there was a holly bush. So I thought I'd include a couple of leaves..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted June 25, 2011 ACK!!!! Floral pattern w/o Acanthus leaves.....what shall we dooooooooooooooooo???? Nice job, I like that you're using a non-traditional subject. The flow of it is just a little wonky, but, that's in comparison to 'traditional' floral design flows. The overall piece looks good but is missing the element of "one area leading the eye to the next". Still, a good piece, so don't forget to post pics after finishing.

Brushpopper Report post Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Twin Oaks, for those perceptive comments. Yes, it's true I didn't use the usual serpentine technique. The Sheridan Style can look a little mechanical. I wanted it to be a little more free form. But that is a tough thing to get right....

TwinOaks Report post Posted June 26, 2011 I absolutely agree that the design shouldn't look mechanical. It's not so much " laying out a grid, planning a flower in every other sqaure, acanthus leading in.......blah, blah, blah." It's that your elements share a space, so that no one part becomes the focal point of the piece. That leads the eye to follow merging and diverging lines of the pattern so that the whole thing is more than the sum of it's components. Here, the flow stops or reverses between some elements. But, hey, this isn't in the critique section. You're just showing off a very nice piece that you did. If you want a good critique of it, it can be moved to the appropriate section, and then the members who do floral designs can have at you offer their input.
