\"\"<\/a>I recently realized that I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever talked about the lowly squiggle. But who doesn\u2019t like a well-done squiggle? I guess it\u2019s hard to take it seriously with such a silly-sounding name but the sound of the word itself describes it so well.<\/p>\n

I myself am very fond of squiggles and apply them throughout my work, primarily as accents, but some people take the squiggle to wonderfully elevated levels as the central theme of their piece.<\/p>\n

This pin by Petra Nemravov\u00e1<\/a> is an excellent example of the squiggle stealing the show. The organization of these wonderfully unruly squiggles brings a regular rhythm to their organic movement. It reins in the rambling energy that this kind of squiggle contains. The bright array of colors, which could also get out of hand, is held in check by a regular graduation from one color to the next, helping to create an energetic but contained feeling.<\/p>\n

Petra is such an advocate of bright colors and cheerful compositions. Enjoy a stroll through her colorful world on her Flickr photostream<\/a>. She is also the genius mind behind the wonderful selections found in the online polymer shop Nemravka<\/a>, serving the European polymer and craft communities and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
