Ohio Star & Sawtooth Star
When I designed this on 17 October 2010, I was pleased. Looking at it now I can see it needs more punch. So I'm going to play with the colors.
What if I put more emphasis on the center by coloring some of the squares green?
This works too well; the diamonds have lost some of their importance.
What if I lose the lighter green squares?
I like this better. However, the border is lifeless and flat.
What if I color the small diamonds in the border dark green?
The border is better; but I'm still not entirely satisfied with the center.
What if I darken the diamonds so that they stand out more?
What if I slightly darken the browns in the Sawtooth Stars?
This helps tie the central image together.
What if I also use the darker brown for the Sawtooth Star in the very center?
I lose the star in the center but the diamonds near the center are better defined.
What if I use the darker brown around the outside border?
I am happy with this it is much more lively and interesting than it was to start with.
