My Take on Notan
Doing too much cutting with a scissors makes my thumb numb, so I decided to do this challenge on the computer. I started with some sailboat drawings that I had and put them into a square arrangement that I liked. When I "folded" back the cutout sails, there was too much white space. I figured that if I put it into a repeating tile design that it might work better. The first photo shows a single tile and the second shows it in a nine-patch arrangement.

I love the graphic nature of your repeated pattern. It would make a great fabric design. I've been working on some ideas on the computer too, but I like yours better!
ReplyDeleteJean, this is really wonderful in the expanded version... I never thought of using software to design a notan! Onward and upward. You've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI found this one really clever. What a great idea to draw inspiration from sails. It turned out great.
