Weekly Challenge #74: "String Theory v. X: Eccentric Circles"

This week's challenge from the Diva is to use eccentric circles. Her challenges are always good... the Diva knows her stuff. Hence the name, I s'pose.

A. Eccentric: One that deviates markedly from an established norm, especially a person of odd or unconventional behavior.




'


See this? I *could* have gone with silk pants, a hypercolor shirt, a spelunking helmet... a patent leather poodle...

Fortunately for you, I'm playin' it straight this week.





B. Eccentric: not having the same center; not concentric: used esp. of two circles or spheres at least one of which contains the centers of both.

    How intricate and interesting to look at! It reminds me of a Victorian muff that ladies used on cold days to keep their hands warm. I especially like the way the featherfall is twisted around the outside. I can't stop looking, everywhere I look is something new and interesting!

    A hat fit for Ascot Ladies' Day. Definitely a winner.

    Love your take on eccentricity, too! Great stuff.
