warm summers

  I hope you're enjoying your summer. Singapore is a tropical country so we don't get seasons. But it seems like I've been using a lot of flower-y tangles lately...

   A family friend has a birthday a while ago. And my mum and I *finally* got around to creating a tile together as a present for that friend.
I did the Ando and Tipple. She did everything else.

  Here's a throwback to Joey's Challenge #114. Featuring Shattuck, Barber Pole, Cheesecloth, and an "XIV" string...
I did another variation of this challenge, but me being me, I haven't gotten around to completing it just yet. Oopsies. I'll get there, though... Eventually.

  Here's my entry for this week's Diva Challenge:
I used some inspiration from this week's Joey's Challenge- Maryhill. See whether you can see the Maryhill fragments in the tile. There's also Afterglo (which is a new tangle to me), Printemps, and some other lines.

  Sticking with the black-white-red theme... Here's a tile I completed for the Travelling Tangles Project. This was done with Jo Flaherty.
She did the bottom portion and the small red thingie at the top right corner.
I added Crux and Snail.

  To be honest, I never quite like how my Renaissance tiles turn out. This beauty was from Kim Aarts-Bruins. I added Ando and Dervish. But I didn't like how my shading turned out... The grey graphite made things look muddy. The members in the Travelling Tangles group assured me that it looked just fine, so I guess we are our own worst critique. 
Kim sent me another tile with Singapore Sling on it. And that tile is white, so I'm sure I'll have a better time with that tile.
  Last one. Done with Janet Day.
She did the watercolour background and the blob thing.
I did the rest and added shading with coloured pencils.

  Thanks for stopping by to have a look. Till' next week. ^-^

  2. That last tile definitely looks Singapore to me. glorious tropical colour and style. I don't think your shading on the other tile looks muddy, and the white really lists those areas.
