Challenge #280 - Rio Olympics

2016 Rio Olympics - Hollibaugh, Mooka, Cubine
Knightsbridge, Floatfest, Printemps, MI2, Tipple,
Crescent Moon, Zinger, Baubles and beads
This week the Diva asked us to use the 2016 Olympics in Rio as our inspiration. I have been watching the Olympics and enjoy a reprieve from all the bad news and crazy politics the US is experiencing.

I chose to focus on the Rio logo as my string and Knightsbridge, checker board pattern throughout to represent the duality of the Olympics. I tried to express the celebratory feel of the Olympics. I added touches of Gold, Silver, and Bronze metallic, of course!

    Very nice. I used this logo too but yours is much more detailed than mine. I love the mix of patterns you have chosen.

    Lots of movement and the shading really makes it pop.

    I love the logo and you've used it beautifully. It also makes me think of the stadium with all the activity and movement around it. Such a lot in this, a piece of art.
