Update July 17th: After Ria sent me an emergency email about not being able to recognize my string, I noticed that something went wrong with my image (on my side). Hence I thought I will place it on my website, hoping you guys will find the revised image helpful. Sorry about that.
When Joey over at MadebyJoey asked me whether I would like to do a challenge for her, I was just finishing one of my own personal challenges I have running in the background: the Refreshers published on Linda Farmer's website. It was one I did in May, #28, and I liked the Asian Fans tangle and I thought: Why Not? Why not an old pattern and easy to draw.
So here my refresher #28 tile with Asian Fans with a little twist...
Patterns: Tripoli, Asian Fans, Mumsy, Beadlines, Afterglo
...and its string.
Here with the swirls...
...and here without.
Have fun!
Beautiful tile!
ReplyDeleteMine is with a creative interpretation of your string ;-) Thank for the challenge!
...and I love what you did, Ilse. But then it is easy to admire your creations, you show us bold perfection each and every time.
DeleteThank you very much for participating on my challenge.
And thank you very much for your very kind words, here and at my blog. You make me blush :-)
DeleteIlse, you are most welcome.
DeleteI love the contrasts you show us on this gorgeous composition with a fantastic Asian Fans. (my Asian fans looks a bit different) but anyway, I enjoyed your challenge and thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are doing much better - well, you MUST be doing so much better if you can draw such an intricate and lovely tile you did for my challenge. Thank you so much not only for participating, but also to jump in early to rescue me. Love ya.
DeleteThanks so much for accepting the challenge and creating a great challenge for our readers! I love how you have finished your tile, the beads on the string and the 'loose beads' make it so interesting to study! I have started your challenge and have found it quite challenging, but will persevere!
ReplyDeleteJoey, it was a pleasure and honor to be for once on the other side of a challenge. So thanks go out to you.
DeleteI loooove beads. I truly love to draw them and I have to hold myself back not to draw them on every single tile. I am looking forward to your tile. If I have caused you a slight challenge, remember, you gave me LOTS of those during the first 6 months of 2017 - but I am NOT saying revenge is sweet. 😏
What a gorgeous tile and great challenge! I loved getting this little insight to how you create your pieces. They're so vivid, bold, elegant and unique. Thanks so much for a very challenging challenge;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, Michele, you make me blush. But I am really glad you like the challenge and, as I said on your blog, you created such a fantastic version of it! Thanks so much for participating.
Deletethis has so much energy and activity. I love all the curly beadlines on the corners. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I am the self-appointed beads queen. I HAD to do beads!!! Imagine a beads queen without beads. LOL I am so glad you participated on my Joey sub challenge and if you have no further use for that left-over Asian Fans lying on your carpet, send it my way.
