Weekly challenge 156- Curvy Gridlock

I really loved the idea of  this weeks challenge. Straight lines aren't really that big a challenge for me but I really PREFER curvy lines and fewer angles. This week's challenge is to try grid patterns on curved or wavy lines.
I am uploading this one as my challenge, mostly because it's something completely different than my usual... and I wanted a change of pace. :)
Fun, quirky, not my usual style, so it seems like a good fit.

The little puppy is a cartoon that I used to sketch on everything way back in high school. I've always had a soft spot for him and the pawprints were just something I did because I couldn't find a pawlike pattern.

I like it. It was fun.

Sometimes it's not what you expect....

When I came up with the shape for this one, I thought it kind of looked like a flower. As I was tangling the center "petals" they began to look like feathers and it began to look almost like a dreamcatcher... also cool.


Then, as it often does, it took on a life of it's own.

Now, when I look at it, I think it looks like pie,(with maybe mint leaves on top??) which makes me wonder if my subconscious is telling me I'm hungry and should put away the pens and go make dinner! LOL


Either way I do like this one. I used a BUNCH of new patterns in it, so I see lots of areas to improve on, but either way, I  like it.



Just go with it

This one lacks the focus.I just kind of sat and played with it, I didn't make sure it had the same crispness and it was just fun. I struggle with Mooka... I really do, but I like the way the center turned out and I had fun with the bubbles!
