The tangle she chose for us is Sand Swirl. I used Sand Swirl once before, but wasn't all that fond of it. Now I realize it is actually quite a good one to use as a filler. As always I finished two tiles, capital S and lowercase s.
Capital S here with the additional tangles Slingo, Starfish Flower, and Sekips. What on earth is "Sekips" I asked and googled it. Result: images of guys...male guys. Well, I am no wiser.
Patterns: Sand Swirl, Slingo, Starfish Flower, Sekips
My lowercase s tile suffered a bit. I had to mess it up by putting my finger into still wet gel. I won't do that again.
Patterns: Sand Swirl, Smokey-V2, Spangle
As always, I love your tiles. You just have a great way of doing line work.
ReplyDeleteFor all it's worth, "sekips" is "spikes" spelled backwards. That could possibly be the male reference? I dunno.

LOL - what was I thinking??!!! Joyce, thanks so much for clearing that up and - of course - for your lovely comment on my tiles. [still smiling]
Deletethese are both gorgeous! I love the high contrast you achieve in your work;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michele, for your very kind words. I am trying....
DeleteLovely as always. Susie, I too have learned the hard way about gels, now I try to do them last and wait till the next day before going back to the tile but it's frustrating how often I then noticed something that I really needed to do and I screw it up anyway!
ReplyDeleteTrudi, my dear, thank you very much for your kind words on my tiles and your advice on gels. Of course you make sense, but I have a habit of often doing the shading and the "finishing touches" as soon as there is something to shade and to touch up. I want to see how it looks before going on. Yes, I am impatient. 😉 Today I did it again, gel dots and circles. You should have seen my fingers! Up in the air like spider legs ready to launch an attack.
