This was created by using Crazy ‘Nzepple as a reticula in a spiral grid. Then the fragment K7, a Crescent Moon in a grid shape, was added to each section of the grid.
I wanted to use contrasting and complimentary colors for this design, so I chose Micron pens in colors reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest indiginous cultures.
Strong corner rounding was used within each section of the grid after the ‘Nzepple bubbles were drawn to make each section stand out.
This tile went through what I call “the ugly stage.” I almost quit about half-way though and dumped it in the “maybe I can do something with it later” pile. I am glad I stuck with it.
I am pretty happy with the end results!
