FMT Challenge 174 - Asian Fans


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!

  3. Thanks 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!

    1. Joey, it was a pleasure and honor to be for once on the other side of a challenge. So thanks go out to you.
      I 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. 😏

    1. Heidi, 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.
