The Diva is back from her much deserved vaycay and we are challenged to use the new pattern "Zenith". This one came up in last weeks String Thing Challenge. I didn't manage to complete that challenge and wasn't all that woeful about it. I couldn't tell you why, but this was the part of that challenge that stumped me. I couldn't make Zenith fit...then...sigh... life got in the way and as much as I hate to be bested by a challenge, I let this one go.
Early this morning, I sat down at my favorite cafe table with my pint of coffee, read the challenge, delighted by Laura's return, cursed this pattern for a minute, noodled around on the internet for longer than was necessary, pulled out my dwindling stack of watercolor ATC's and got to work.
Thanks for stopping by! Your comments always make my day.
This has a regal look to it. Part of it may be the jewel tones or maybe the look of crowns. Either way, it is delightful!
ReplyDeleteYou've created a Zenith garden :-) Very beautiful work, love it.
ReplyDeleteWell I think you've mastered it, don't you? Love the colours too. I seem to want to do this pattern a bit small and cramped, whereas yours is spacious and full of detail. Guess what I'll be trying next?
ReplyDeleteAwesome. It's so entrancing with the colors and whimsical elements!
ReplyDeleteI played around with this one for a long time, trying to "pretty it up." I wanted to make it more ribbon-like. You certainly captured what I had in mind. Wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tile again!! I love your combination of patterns and color!
ReplyDeleteWhich colors do you use? It looks perfect!
This has a look of jeweled antiquity! I agree with Jean's comment that it looks regal. You really managed to add depth and dimension, and also a touch of whimsy. I LOVE this one!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful interpretation !
ReplyDeleteI love this very elegant tile!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you and that pint of coffee made this happen! I love the sparkle on Zenith, and the wonderful Zingers!
