Diva Challenge #262 & Made by Joey #170


Diva Challenge #262: Use My Tangle~"Fassett" by Lynn Mead

I managed to get an early shot at a couple of challenges this week. I've got a lot going on in the next several days so I figured it was now or never so I kept it pretty simple. I just created a couple of new sets of watercolor ATC's for an upcoming swap celebrating Spring. I messed up on one of the strips as I cut them down and ended up with 4 cards that were 1/4" short on the length so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to use them. 
The Diva challenge is to use the pattern "Fassett". I've had problems with this pattern in the past because I made the mistake of working too small. This worked out pretty great.
Made by Joey #170
Roman Numeral String Series: VII
Patterns: Queen's Crown, Nipa, Gotcha & Zails

Joey's challenge provided the string and 4 patterns that we were asked to use at least one. HA! Well I always challenge myself to use them all, for better or worse. I'm not super crazy about this one...it got a little overworked but that's how I roll;-)


As ever, thanks so much for visiting my blog. Your thoughtful and generous comments always make my day!

  2. Your Fassett tile is wonderful. I always liked how you could make the tangle look like flowers. Very Spring-y.

  10. I too have a tendency to work too small with this pattern and will follow your lead in working bigger with it. I love the way you have used white on these pieces to make the light and shade "pop".

  11. I put too many auras in my Fassett! But yours is stunning! Lovely work for Joey, too!

  12. Oh I love your Joey's Challenge one, it is so dramatic with all those teeth lol. Your Fassett is an excellent way of showing it off. I made your earlier mistake of drawing it too small.
