Challenge 10 - the space between

The was a difficult challenge for me, it took two tries and I'm still not satisfied.  The Space between is more important than I realized!
The First attempt:  I tried to do shadows of the ribbons (this is going to take some practice).  I also got a little carried away with the series of orbs in the one string - they look like 3-eyed mice LOL.  I kept adding to it to try to make it right...maybe I should have used a great big Bronx Cheer.







The second attempt turned out a little bit better, I went for simplicity and tried a new shiny look base on Jo in NZ's instructions on her flicker site.  I think I got the look, but messed up when I tried to put "holes" for the bands to pass under the other bands.   This is supposed to be a learning experience, and I learned plenty on this challenge.  It was fun.  Critiques and suggestions are welcome.

    I thought the first tile was pretty darn good, until I saw the second, which is FABULOUS! Well done!

    "great big Bronx Cheer" - I had to smile (familiar words... very!!). And I'm with Margaret - the first tile is absolutely beautiful (I wouldn't change a thing)... but the second tile is SUPERB!! It makes me want to rush off and play with Jo's 'shine' too ...but I must go to bed (it's after 5 a.m.!). Has anyone heard from Jo? (I don't know where she lives in relation to Christchurch.) Hugs and goodnight, Kit

    I really like your concepts. I think we were all a bit confused at first, however, great tangles are appearing. I really like both the second is so present and very well shaded. I love it!

    P.S. just did a bit of a search - Jo's in Auckland (at the other end of New Zealand), so she should be fine ...thought I should add that in view of my comment above. xoxo

    Joni, Both of your tiles are very pretty! On the second one the sections look like they really stand up off the tile-great shading and open space!
