Thanks Deux. I like the idea of the braid. You're the first designer to run w/ it. But both 97 & 96 feel a bit medical. I think of the braid in a woman's hair. more curve and fewer right angles. also, i would need a three-strand braid (for teacher, technique, narrative - the three elements that make braided media unique).
Understood and greatly appreciated for the feedback. Will look into it further... and also thought of the three strand braid but wanted to see if you liked any of these first.
