Totally missed yesterday. It was really busy, and I was so tired by the end I couldn’t stand up. I have been looking after my riding instructor’s barn, and on Mon and Wed I cleaned seven stalls. Usually four is plenty. Seven is falling over and moaning territory. I did stay awake at Aerin’s winter concert, which was pretty excellent.

I didn’t like the way Tuesday’s starburst came out looking inside out to me, so I started building this one from the outside in, and using thinner pieces. I like the feel of it better; it is closer to what I was aiming for. I may need to think about these some more. Maybe layers of graduated circles, with strips/stripes over the top.

Well, life has been busy, right?

I wanted something like a starburst, in celebration of the obvious, so I build this one from the inside out. That made all the subsequent layers overlap the inside and it looks like I built it outside in. Weird.
