IAST challenge #205 Adele gave us a sun with rays string and the tangles Pauline's Pigtail, Shard, and Shattuck. I had already accepted the fact that I will probably give this challenge a pass, but decided to sit down and look at the package for at least 5 minutes before throwing the towel for good. Then I had an idea that might just work.
I decided to draw the three tangles anywhere I wanted and then take the sun string, slightly altered, and place it on top of it all.
Voila! Here my contribution to the IAST challenge #205 with all its elements.
Patterns: Pauline's Pigtail, Shard, Shattuck
you are SUCH an original thinker. in a million years, this option would never have occurred to me but i love it. thanks for the continuing inspiration. so glad i subscribed.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Meridiana, and thanks for your very complimentary comment. I was told that strings are only indications, help lines, and should not be taken seriously. Also, it doesn't bode well for me if I cannot produce something following the original string. Believe me, when we'll get see all the other entries, I also will go: Oh!!! Ah!!! I could have done it like that!!! Why didn't I think of drawing it like this!!!! etc...etc...etc. And I will be jealous of their brain storming just like with yours.
DeleteThis new techbique Tranzending looks great on your tile. I was forgotten to mention that on my feedback.
DeletePlease, believe me, this is a masterpiece
I am not sure it is as my sun string is not a tangle. But remember the capital X I drew? There you have Tranzending. In fact, I made a little twist by flipping the underneath X's and orbs tangle inside out under Xtracto. I did that way before I heard of Tranzending. As for this technique...still today I have no idea how exactly they are teaching it. Do you?
DeleteNo, I'm sorry Susie, this is totally new for me.
DeleteWe have to wait. We may see more and more people doing it and eventually we will be able to "crack the strokes", won't we, Ria! 😉
DeleteAgain a gorgeous contribution, I like the colours, the shadowing and the highlights but most of all the way you are drawing the tangles!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your very kind comment, Ria. I had not idea what to do and now I think if I had done the rays fatter, the transparency would have been clearer. Oh, well.
DeleteThis is ingenious! I love it!
