weekly challenge #67: 'amanda' (earth) day

I don't currently have anyone in my life named Amanda, but if a child (most especially the Diva's child) declares that the earth must be referred to as 'Amanda' (even if he doesn't know one either)... well...

Happy Amanda week!

I'm posting two tiles for earth day: one that I like and one I don't. I'm striving to be more diva-like; it resonated with me when she said tangling is 'more about the process than the product' for her. And drawing a feathery egg was... uh... quite a process. I think I'm gonna need to spend a little more time getting acquainted with the Featherfall pattern before we can really get along.

The second tile I did a while back, but if you wanted it any earthier, you'd have to rub it in the dirt.

    I wasn't too happy with my first attempt at the featherfall pattern either, but I think yours looks great. Both tiles are beautiful! The second is very earthy and foliage filled!

    Very intricate. I like the featherfall and all the florals in the second. What is that pattern in the top right corner of the second one? And the little circle od dots in the top one? very interesting to look at.

    Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate the feedback. It's interesting that people seem to like the first one more, which is the one that almost met the shredder.
