New Designs - Storm At Sea & Tempest

I did these back in April. I don't know why it's taken me so long to post them.

First, I did a cross stitch interpretation of the traditional Storm At Sea quilt pattern with the usual stormy blues and greys.

Then I started playing with the colors.

  1. The deep green and purple one looks very masculine, or at least what I imagine as masculine... and with saturated colors on dark background reminds me of 80s and 90s video games.

  2. Interesting comment. I wasn't going for masculine or video games, but I see where you're coming from with the video game reference.

    I was trying to enhance the illusion of movement by using green and purple shades that are often used to trick the brain into seeing motion in optical illusions.

Sorry about the captcha, folks, but when I turned it off I got a ton of spam. Also, all comments are moderated to prevent any internet nastiness. However, I'd love to hear from nice people who don't have anything to sell. :)
