I LOVE where you're heading with this... It's purely coincidental, but your 'umbrella' has the feel of the beachside cottages -- historic ones -- and will inspire our future 'shelter' chairs/umbrellas/cabanas... SO, to this end, please VU this quik 3-pic slide show of what I am talking about and see if you can get some inspiration for a mock 'cottage' ...this had tremendous meaning & history in this region... think: a raw, sketched architectural drawing, outline not filled, or just 'top' what you have with the roof lines of one of the cottages :)) If you're so inclined, here you go: http://wychmere.tumblr.com/private/1006180842/tumblr_l7oo261Ksq1qcad71
ps...don't love the curly font...too fancy for the funkiness of the element...in my opinion.
Hey Trinova... I totally appreciate all your new entries. Wow, you are really putting in the time - thank you!! Your style is fresh and edgy... I love the foray into the cottage feel. The 3 new roofs...I'm getting more of a 'Chalet' feel (as in a ski lodge in the Alps) versus 'Cottagey' - especially #48.
I like the abract of #50 (#53 won't cut it - too specifc) but...
what if... #48 topped #28 somehow - then it really would be an abstract Cottage... this may be something we could use as an element...FYI. #52 is too far off from your good stuff. I would just focus on a fusion of the two coolest things I just mentioned...
