DIVA Challenge 347 - Objects


DIVA Challenge #347 is easy: gather some objects and use them as the string; use tangles of your choice. Then why did I make it so difficult for myself?

My first attempt was using the simplified icon of a figure skater. After all, I thought, the Winter Olympics 2018 in SK's PyeongChang start Feb 9th. As is obvious, a) my figure skater is a bit pregnant and b) my source is no object.

I didn't fare better with my second, the geometrical, attempt. Saw some funny shoes sculptures on a webpage and picked one as my misguided 'object'.

Last, but not least, my third and final, and most successful, attempt on choosing 'objects': shells and a dried leaf that hence has become an object. Don't argue; you'd lose.

Animal Happy Day

This is my sleepy, very happy and extremely content senior dog Shadow. Thanks to new meds, his long-time suffering of itchy skin, everywhere and all the time no matter how many medical baths, is finally in the past. Thanks heaven!

  2. You have put your tiles in the right form: the first is already beautiful but the second, I like even more. When I wouldn't have seen "the shoe", I would never thougt about a shoe, it is a wonderful compositon. For the third one, I only can say amazing. I love the mystic tranzending look you have created here and the 3D effect. Wonderful work.
    It is hard to see a video of the meat-industry but I understand it is the only way to change our attitude against "meat". Glad I am a veggie!

    1. Thanks, Ria. I placed the 3rd last because I liked it least. [chuckle!!].
      I placed the video under Animal Happy Day because all dogs destined for the table got rescued. It is pure shame what some countries do to our 'best friends'!

  4. Wonderful work! I like all three tiles. Maybe my favorite is the second or the third.

    1. Thanks, Margarete. Let's pick the 2nd and if only because it is different and I liked working on it best. The 3rd almost landed in the trash, especially after I added the 'Knitting' part.
