Challenge 182 was to work around the theme of 'stripes'. How easy could that be?? Believe it or not, I struggled with it. Possibly because I was out of my comfort zone at home and worked in a book rather than a tile. I first attempted rounded stripes, which I coloured, then straight ones
I wasn't happy with either of these, so found a tile and began again, keeping things simple this time.
Much happier with this attempt!. I then enjoyed colouring it red, calling the final one "Adventure in Red"
When I tried to work on this weeks challenge UMT = 'use my tangle', again I struggled, so did my own version of "X-DID" by Annette Carlo.
I was quite pleased with these! I liked the way the shading on the first one brought out a 3D effect. For the coloured one (used gel pens), I created the X-dids with curved and straight lines. You may need to look carefully for the pattern, but it is there!!
While with my grandies in Perth, we had some fun colouring in Ben Quoks templates!!

I enjoyed this entire post. Beautiful work. Your two "X-did" tiles are awesome. The colored Tile is a mind bender. Love your art, Anne.
ReplyDeletea beautyful combination of colours.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces in this post! Especially I like your X-Did tile. It´s great and original!
ReplyDeleteYour X-did/Hibred tangleation gives a unique perspective. Nice shading on this as well.
ReplyDeleteI think all your stripes are great - isn't it funny how when what is in our head doesn't translate onto the tile, we think it isn't good? THEN, there is your stunning take on X-Did. Your 3-D images are just amazing, and the color takes me back to the 60's. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLike David, I enjoyed this entire post, but especially the ornation creations!
ReplyDeleteWow, a lot of beautiful stuff. I like both X-Did, but the first one is amazing! For 'stripes' I like the second one best. You've done very well, Anne.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Anne! I just love your version of 'X-DID'!! I would love to give it a try, myself. And your colorful one is simply amazing too! Your work is always amazing! Thank you so much for giving it a try! Have a blessed weekend! :0) Annette Share Humanity
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work by you and the grandkids! The colors are amazing and your variations of X-Ing curves and straight details are great.
ReplyDeleteI have such a tough time seeing the possibilities in a new tangle. I really like your version. The shading just makes it so... groovy. (grin)
