Puzzle 16 - Masyu

This puzzle arose out of a failed attempt at making a slitherlink with a really constrained theme (maybe I'll end up finally making that and posting it on my blog). Anyways, I think this turned out quite well! The puzzle was built entirely around the center all-black-pearl diamond; after some quick experimentation, I found the outer diamond couldn't be all black pearls. But making it all white pearls is boring, too. Oh well.

Rules- Draw lines through orthogonally adjacent cells to form a loop that goes through every circle. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells before and after the circle. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.

Puzzle 9 - Masyu

 I originally wanted to make a Masyu that solved to regions which would eventually resolve through connectivity, but I realized the theme would only work in large puzzles. Instead, I set a smaller Masyu. Rules- Draw lines through orthogonally adjacent cells to form a loop that goes through every circle. The loop cannot branch off or cross itself. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells before and after the circle.
