This week at Adele's Bruno "It's a String Thing #212" we had a very nice spiral string to work with using tangles "Wrapped" by Gail Sherman, CZT, "Ok-rah" by Liza Buckley, CZT and "Danzer" by Prairie Kittin. This were all new tangles to me which made the challenge a bit interesting specially because halfway thru the tile the sections I was creating were not looking good, I wasn't loving it and almost gave up on my tile, but a voice kept telling me to continue one step at a time. I am glad I listened because even before shading, it was definitely not looking nice but once I added the shading it came to life and now I really like it... I guess you never know until the very end! ;-) Here is the end result: I liked the Adele's spiral string so much that I decided to use the same string for "I am the Diva Challenge #333: Cozy Up for the change of Season". As you can see I am still in "Seed's-N-Angles" frenzy (my new tangle posted in the previous blog) so I decided to add a bit of "Marasu" behind Seed's-N-Angles border and pair it with "Hybred" since to me it is warm, organic and cozy almost like beautiful wood planks in a weaving pattern. Here is the end result: If you missed my previous post and like to learn more about "Seeds-N-Angles" click here. By the way, thanks for all the nice comments I had on this pattern. Your words meant the world to me! I hope you like them and have a joyful cozy season ;-). Thanks for visiting and spread as much love and joy all around you....Stay Inspired! - CraftyGirl 9/22/2017 06:14:50 pm
I love your IAST piece! I tried so hard to incorporate Ok-rah into the spiral but just couldn't figure out how to make it fit. Your composition is brilliant and beautiful. It is a great string and your Diva tile is FAB! 9/22/2017 08:09:44 pm
Thank you Michele, it was hard to incorporate Ok-rah for me too, and I almost gave up! I am happy it turned out nice at the end :-) thanks for your sweet words!
