April 2017 Refreshers

I was busy this month with different challenges and Inspirited by... tiles, the refresher tiles suffered a bit. However, I am still ahead of the game, that means, I am still drawing more refresher tiles than are published on Linda Farmer's website. I am slowly, but surely, catching up. What do they say? It's a long way to Tipperary...

Here the first of the month - Refresher #20

Patterns: Verdigogh, Fish Net, Trimonds, Twistee, Loops

Refresher #150 - I am trying now to draw the latest refreshers as soon as they are published.

Patterns: Pebble Flowers, L Zen 7s, Flapper, Crescent Moon, Helix

Refresher #24

Patterns: Oof, Archer, Sanibelle, Arc Flower, Sugarcane

Refresher #26 - Two because....

Patterns: Cubine, Looby Loo, Riverstones, Versa, Droplets

I tried Ria Matheussen's candle/watercolor base tile, but I made the mistake of being too liberal with the candle. Drawing became rather difficult on the oily candle slicks and I had to abandon the tile. Abandoning this particular tile does not mean abandoning the candle trick.

My candle tile disaster

Refresher #151 - Hereto I used one of my coffee (speak watercolor) stain tiles I made for the IAST 312 challenge.

Patterns: Nzeppel, Tri-Bee, C-Stem, Pineple, Organic

Stained tile for Refresher 151
Stained with watercolor and glitter nail polish

Refresher #152 - I am not very fond of patterns like bala, but when I played around with it a bit, I fell in love with it. Why does this green tile has a yellow border? Because I messed up the actual border line, tried to recover it which made it worse... So the scissors came in handy!

Patterns: Pendrills, Fleavy, Gotcha, Wedge, Bala

I am not too happy with the results of this month. II will take a deep breath and attack next week's refreshers with a different approach. Hmm... not sure what approach yet, but it is still April.
