challenge #94 - Socc

This week's Diva Challenge was to use Socc - a pattern that I love, LOVE and am going to be using a lot more!

Such a fun pattern to work with - I have a couple more drawings in progress, hopefully I'll get them all done, but I'm a bit torn between other projects I also want to complete.

Here is the one that I did today.

Laura had drawn tendrils reaching out from socc on her tile - a very inspiring idea that got me thinking of how I could extend the socc into other areas of the design.

The fat little socc at the top reminded me of bulbs - so they grew a few lillies! Of course, I didn't want untidy ends so I tied them up - well most of them any way - some of the naughty ones escaped! The sides (in a master stroke of evasion) disappeared down the holes.

Wow....just, wow! I love how your creations hang in mid-air, full of lofty life.

Oh, I love how you think! This is delightful!

You are so creative! (I think I post this every week?)
It's so amazing what you come up with!
I think I like your description of your drawings as much as the drawings themselves -- almost as much. I agree it is fun to use. Have thought of a couple of ways to use in some of the Christmas things I am doing. Great work.
Quite lovely, again. I like how you fed Socc into little holes at the side! Gotta remember that idea.

Another lovely piece!
Beautiful, and so out of the box.
Gorgeous Helen, I know no other word that descibes better what I think of your drawing. It's soft and organic, I love it.

What a lovely, whimsical interpretation of this challenge Tangle.

I always look forward to your entries - Beautiful, and interesting to read your process. This is such a pretty way to use Socc, and you're right, it really does look like bulbs (or tubers). I love the lillies, but especially the soft roots wrapped around a stick then tied in such a pretty flowy knot.
