DIVA Challenge 351 - Olympics

This week's DIVA Challenge is celebrating the winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, using the Olympics 5 rings as the string (or hearts if you prefer). I honored the event with TWO tiles....eh....here a little secret if you haven't already guessed. Mostly, when I draw more than one tile it is because I don't like the result(s). I mean, if my first tile pleases my eyes, why would I risk drawing another that might spoil the joy? However, if I stop after two tiles, by no means does that mean I am happy now! More likely I have just given up. When it doesn't go your way, it doesn't go your way!

So this post has TWO tiles....

Tile #2: The rings with Dublin. I saw Dublin the first time on one of Anita's wonderful tiles and was instantly in love with it. At first I thought it was rather complex, but once I drew it a few times, my cramped up brain relaxed and I was able to just enjoy drawing it zzzzzen-like style. Thanks Chris Titus for this wonderful tangle, and thanks Anita for making me aware of it.

Pattern: Dublin

Tile #1: The rings with a new tangle I call Growing Hearts. It is just like Hamail (by Tina-Akua Hunziker), but made of hearts. The background are all hearts in some sort of a florz style. (Now you know why I drew the Dublin tile.)

Patterns: Growing Hearts

Ahhhh, the florz-style hearts background should have been more like this:

Florz-Hearts with a PS flare

Some more Growing Hearts

Finally, the step-out (as if needed)
