Just as in music, space in art is also art...<BR/><BR/>If you add more motifs, you'll still have spaces - I like the shape it is, more motifs would change that- the new bigger shape might be equally beautiful, but there is wisdom in the KISS principle, too...Catladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067024033252878138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539677025266761617.post-20536615398792494682009-03-07T22:37:00.000-06:002009-03-07T22:37:00.000-06:00The design has interest and appeal.

Personally, I think it's a matter of knowing when to stop. If you absolutely must add more to it then just soften the triangle shape a little with one finishing round. Attempting to fill in the triangles will ruin it. Not all doilies require smooth edges. Quit while you are ahead.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893826686654270522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539677025266761617.post-60386650314539462772009-03-07T22:36:00.000-06:002009-03-07T22:36:00.000-06:00I would not fill in those spaces.

I think the same principle applies to visual arts- negative spaces are an important part of the design. But I do agree that it needs something to unify the motifs. Perhaps just an edging of rings and chains, echoing the outer round of the motifs, that could be continued across the tops of those spaces would do the trick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539677025266761617.post-70758113792975633252009-03-07T22:10:00.000-06:002009-03-07T22:10:00.000-06:00I love it the way it is and agree with Jane E.

My first attempts aren't pretty. <BR/><BR/>I agree Diane. After having the motif removed from its brushes, Roomba had the nerve to continue on with its vacuuming duties, no mention of what I should do now. I expected a suggestion or two at the very least!Jeff Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521350068442897265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4539677025266761617.post-35125475664343649882009-03-07T12:25:00.000-06:002009-03-07T12:25:00.000-06:00I love the way this looks!
