The circles in the background are a lot more subtle in person. That effect I really liked. I'll have to use that again sometime - it adds just a ghost of interest without being too dramatic. But the rest I just scrapped!! I thought it was lame - Elizabeth did too - why finish it?
So I'm spending the rest of the month working out how to draw the letters the way I want to drawn them - in the right perspective and orientation.
This whole experience reminds me that sometimes you're the windshield . . . . and sometimes you're the bug!
So what have you been up to creatively?

Sorry this project wasn't working as well as you'd like! I do like the circles in the background as well.
I've been drawing and doodling lots of letters lately- typography is pretty interesting, but I haven't moved past my sketchbook. I've wondered about whether taking a lettering class would help me with some of the core things, but I don't think there's time for one more thing!
I love your original sketch. I think that color doesn't add a lot to the design-its graphic nature is what is appealing. How about doing it in black and white and focusing on the values?
Having said that, I know I am discarding June's piece (I think it's June). It's off, I am not into it, EB basically said it needs a lot of work. I too am just fine with scrapping a piece and moving forward.
Ah, well, such is life. Although I really don't believe in scrapping anything--I would've more or less sewn it together then slice it up to play with. Mistakes, after all, are important.
best, nadia
Hey you gave it a good try! Drawing 3 D letters is not that easy, but I think once you have it figured out this quilt will be great. My CO2 quilt was not perfect either. This lesson was a bit of a struggle for me as well.
