Alphabet Challenge Letter K


It is 'Kay' week over at MadeByJoey's weekly alphabet challenge and #156, but, as for me, it could as well have been laundry week...Later.

Her challenge is a capital 'K' with the beautiful pattern kiss. I needed a few days to think about this challenge and the result is............... well, I...................... and then.................... is a................... yet still.................. and may....... that are............. a bit.

I am sure you will agree.

Lowercase k. I used the pattern kiss with only one other pattern: kuziem, the simple version. Furthermore, I have to give credit to Lori from allthingstangled for my background filler, the little black leaves from the kiss pattern (update: Lori has a brand new website called Doodle from the Heart). I noticed that Lori often takes a small part of a pattern and uses it as an ornament in another pattern, as a border decor, or as a background filler. I hope she doesn't mind my adaptation of her useful trick in my tangle here.


Patterns: Kiss, Kuziem



I managed to draw my capital K tile pretty close to Joey's original 'finish my tile' tile. Besides kiss I used a new pattern to me called kurlllz. It looks like this



I thought great, I can use the flowing bands to decorate the sturdy K, After I did the last embellishments I turned to rub my neck and looked out the window and what did I see? My laundry line with my old rags gently moving in the breeze looking oddly familiar to the hanging rags in my K tile.

Inspiration can hit you subconsciously. 
I better stay away from the backyard when drawing my tiles.



Patterns: Kiss, Kurlllz

  2. Last week, you mentioned famous words from Bette Davis. They are so true...
    I guess for everyone!(I didn't know the song)
    As usual, all your tiles look great, especially the last one is fantastic.

    1. The song is from the movie 'Beaches' - it is about the friendship of 2 women from childhood till one dies. Love the movie.
      Especially the last one? The one with the laundry? Ria, I love you for it. Thanks.

    1. I read your comment early this morning while cuddling with my still dozing dog Shadow in bed. I had to laugh out so loud his head jerked up and knocked my mobile right out of my hand.

      It is now almost evening and I am still grinning from ear to ear. Right, what would have been had I looked lower?
      Thanks, Trudi.
