Challenge Combo Post





This time around, I have two challenges in the same post, due to my computer impaired-ness. I had to load pictures from home, and am doing the post from work.

Anyway I am posting challenges from the Diva and Suzy Mosh together because once I saved them on a draft, I don't know how to move them around. I'm sure it's simple, but then so am I hahahaha!.

The Diva Challenge this week was to use the tangle Brella by Bunny Wright, CZT. I fiddled around with the pattern for a while, then decided to make a frame. The tangle on the top reminded me of water running in one of those wall fountains you see in dentist's offices. The Brella across the middle, and along the left edge, seems Native American, and as I went, it felt like I was creating a design for a sand painting or a fountain.

Patterns used: Lava Juice, Brella, Mssst, Nekton, with a ribbon of black satin.



















Suzy Mosh has a really fun challenge this week, with W patterns and using a tangle by Anne Marks, CZT. The patterns I chose were Weave and Web. I was hoping the weave would look more lush, but it is what it is. Maybe I can play with it some more. Web was fun made with Beadlines. Then, Anne's pattern "Sunflowers" along the bottom. This is surely a pattern I will use some more! what fun! It will go really well with Buttercup
 
My favorite part of this is the sunflowers, zinger, and fescu along the bottom. It's so cheery!
Ooh! I should have put a bunzo bee in there!

  5. HeidiSue, I love the That's New To Me tile with the Sunflowers, especially how you added little droplets to the Web! You are right, this is a very cheery, fun tile. Your Diva Challenge tile is really wonderful, and seems to tell a little story. Really David? You had an ant farm like that? Cool!

  6. Love both your tiles HeidiSue, but then I always do! Your Brella tile does remind me of a sand drawing. Your shading in it is wonderful. Your New To Me tile is just fun with it's beaded web and bright flowers. Great work. Getting settled in to your new place now?
