Contest Entry: Otter Lace

Significant Otters Design Challenge

If you’ve ever watched two otters holding hands (oh yes, it exists!) it’s safe to say this mammal has won the hearts of viewers with their otterly adorable appearance. This week we challenge you to win the hearts of the community with an otter-inspired design.

There wasn't much direction on this contest. So I went in my own direction and finally ended up with Otter Lace. 

The lace was a fairly simple thing to create. The design is mirrored, which means I only had to draw the one half before the computer did the other side.

The plan for the scalloped edge was to have it much wider in the middle section, but I decided the single flower between the otter couples looked better in the main motif. The fancy edge was digitally trimmed to match, and the rest of the computer work was spent on the colors.

I also played around with a soft teal color with warm gray for a second version of the lace.
