Diva Challenge #364 and Travelling Tangles

"Remake of a Classic"

I love this challenge! We were asked to remake one of our old favorites and I've been meaning to go back a do this one for awhile. Although the point was to compare your growth, I didn't approach this as a finished piece or an improvement from the original. 
I wanted to include this in my DIY journal as a study for the future development of a finished piece.

I didn't get a chance to finish this weeks Joey/IAST duo-challenge. My schedule has been and will be a bit crazy this week so I'm hoping I can share it next week.

Here are a few of the Travelling Tangle swaps I finished last week:

My finishes...


...to these two starters by Lucretia Horton

These were super fun and I knew the pink one would be a great art journal piece in the end;-)

My finish...

...to another of Lucretia's starts

I had started drawing that zig-zag at the bottom 
before I remembered to take a before pic

I'm so happily over-whelmed by the abundance of  pieces I've been receiving from each of my swap mates so far. I will finish each and every piece!

This is a closer pic of  the leaf pic above

My finishes...




...to these 3 starters by Jules Mack

I finished all three of these while watching the Royal Wedding;-) before heading off to...

...Cheese Camp on Sunday. Over the next 3 days we visited several farms and creameries in Marin County. What an amazing trip, traveling with a group of cheese professionals (curd nerds). I made new friends, learned so much, ate a lot of cheese and enjoyed the beauty of this place. I'm a city girl so getting out into the country is a rare and beautiful thing.
We stayed in a gorgeous farmhouse where goats were kidding in the barn next door. I watched a goat being born!

This little guy was only hours old when I took this pic
once the mama cleans him up, he's taking his first steps within minutes
Incredible!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Your thoughtful and generous comments delight and inspire me.

  3. Again, you show us wonderful tiles this week, Michele! My favorite is the colored DIVA tile, but the first version is beautiful in its own black and white way. I also like your other work this week, especially the green one. I hope, your Aimee isn’t jealous because a sweet little goat has taken her place this week!

  5. I'm missing quirky Aimee pics... but that cute little goat is running a close second!

    I love both your Diva tiles! They each have their own character. And I really like the leaf tile started by Lucretia.

  7. I really like the journal page. Reminds me of Alice In Wonderland’s tea party.

    The feather tile for Travelling Tangles is lovely, too. I always try to imagine what I would have done to a “before” tile... and then compare it to how the other person actually completed it. It’s fun to see how creative others are.
