Made by Joey Challenge #104

Roman Numeral IV String

patterns: 4 Corners, 4 Fun & 4 Mom with a little Tipple & Mooka

Yes, I managed to cram all three (plus 2) patterns into this little ATC, even though we were asked to "use at least one" of the "4" patterns.

It's a String Thing Challenge #136

Pi String

patterns: W2, Pokeroot, Tripoli and 3-loops-6

This weeks challenge honors Pi & Pie. It was National Pi Day earlier in the week. I see pie crust, cherries and slices of pie in the pattern choices, though I'm still trying to figure out how the 3-loops-6 fits into the Pi/Pie theme. It must be something mathematical...not my strong suit. This was one of those tiles that started out with a very different picture in my head and somewhere along the line it slipped out of control. I blame "Tripoli". I wasn't going to use it. I have a love/hate relationship with that pattern, then I decided I would try to morph it. That did not work. I thought about ditching it many times but I persevered hoping I'd have that "Aha!" moment when I'd reign it all in...I finished it anyway, for better or worse.

I made up a couple of watercolor tiles for the Diva's Touch of Irish challenge and this weeks Shading Zentangle Facebook group watercolor challenge (which I've yet to do). This is what the above tile looked like before.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Your thoughtful and generous comments always make my day.
