Jean,
I get mad very rarely. I remember when I was a kid they raised the price of those little bottles of Coke from six cents to a dime. That really burned me up. Other than that you would have to marry me to make me mad.
Linda,
That's one impressive image. I would love to see that in person. One of the benefits of doing the full length composition like that is that you can widen up the top and sides. I suppose a fella could do whatever he wanted, but when you cut it down to less than half a figure, my eye wants to bring in the sides and top accordingly. What you're left with then is basically two relatively small negative background spaces, one on either side. This is where I got stumped and tried to split the image. Combine that with the fact that her tall hat completely split the background.
I will admit that what I was trying to imagine was something somewhat literal. If it's like a wink to a blind man, or it needs a hand out to explain, I probably couldn't conceive it.
I think the wallpaper idea is a good one. Basically creating many smaller versions of the symbol either in a border arrangement, or placed in a pattern covering the entire background.
Terri's version is also interesting. Her's would, I think, require more expertise in execution.
One thing I know, these matters should not be left to resolve in mid stream.
