The challenge this week was to use a double pencil technique for the string of the tile and then fill it in, it took me a while to get going on this one as the thought of posting the link on Laura blog terrifies me !!!! anyway I did the double pencil thing no worries but for some reason I then set out to hide any and all evidence that it was even there :) soooo if you look very closely you can see the original string but as usual (including this post) I never know when to stop :) hope you enjoy my Sea Creature double pencil thingy :)
I know about overworking the patterns too Rhani.Post the link- I think others would be interested. I felt the same about mine, but now I link up and the other ladies are encouraging!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Love your seaqueen in her boudoir!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first viewed this my thought was 'this is a lovely rich piece'...I really love how you've modified some of the patterns and combined them here. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI call it 'layering' rather than overdoing, lol!
ReplyDeleteI love this. The brown and black work wonderfully together. I can see the original string. It doesn't jump out at you, but that's fine. You've woven it throughout so that it adds depth and draws the eye along the path of the work.
looks great!! glad you posted the link!
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME - I love the contrast and the lacy feel.
ReplyDeleteI love this double stringed sea creature!
