Figure 216.—Single and Double Band Inlaid Border
Material for straight borders may be derived from geometry, nature, or artificial forms, but for borders designed in curves, nature is generally selected as a source.

Figure 216a.—Work of High School Students
[Figure 201] illustrates a crude and uninteresting form, unsuited to outline enrichment. [Figure 202] has brought [Figure 201] into some semblance of order, but as can be readily seen by the primary outline which encloses it, the widest point occurs exactly midway from top to bottom, which makes the form monotonous. This defect has been remedied in [Figure 203] and an interesting and varied area appears for the first time. What Dr. Haney calls "the feebly flapping curve" of [Figure 202] has been replaced by the vigorous and "snappy" curve of [Figure 203], which gives what is termed a dynamic or rhythmic value in surface enrichment.
