riffclown Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Latest Icarex buy included a lot of random color scraps Much smaller pieces this time. I Started laying out another new kite today.. This one is truly eclectic.. Colors without rhyme or reason and all over the place spectrum wise.. Introducing Crazy Quilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 1st panel basted and backlit.. Still a touch Stripey on the outside edge but I think it will look nice in the air.. Color mix was 100% determined by the size of the scrap and not by spectrum order or placement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frob Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 For a moment I thought your lines were attached to the giant panda. You should figure out how to do that next. It would make a strange but exciting quad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
