jill here...Well I'm happy to report that
sometimes I learn from my errors. While Marny and I were preparing for our upcoming Des Moines Quilt Guild presentations, I had a light bulb moment! Marny's notes, concerning
transparency, are explicit concerning the line (or shape) of implied intersection. I was confusing the total design with the intersecting line.

The large blocky stripes do not represent the intersecting lines
of the gold, rust and green. The value and colors
are believable, the shape is not.

I blocked out the large rectangles and
the intended line of interaction became more apparent.
Believable now? |
The second rule that I needed to remind myself was that "Less is More"! I attempted using too many colors. Live and learn but worth the challenge.
Yes, believable now... my eye appreciates this new contrast in colors, more than the previous gray, black, greens.
