Spiralling, spiralling, spiralling

This week, the Diva's Weekly Challenge is #160: "String Theory: Spiral out, Keep Going! (v.2)"
Spirals have been on my mind a lot these last few months. First they showed up in the new book I was making, and then they started showing up everywhere.


Life is way too busy, these days, but I took the Diva's Challenge and had some fun!


Here are some spiralled tiles and then some pictures of my book.
