Somewhere along the way my holiday blog break detoured into a black hole of sorts...well, more like a rabbit hole of many artsy diversions along with family stuff, work stuff, dead computers and more family stuff....and YouTube;-)
Through it all, I started all of the Diva challenges in my Trainwreck Journal but never managed to finish any of them until yesterday, whilst hanging out, on rainy day off, at my neighborhood cafe.
This current challenge almost did me in though. After my second failed practice attempt I decided to go big and do it in pencil first. Much better. Although I'm pleased with the results, it vexed me in terms of knowing where and how to stop it, or how to integrate other patterns.
My morning at the cafe...
...finishing up abandoned challenges, which was it's own challenge I believe:
I'll be posting my Project Shares in short (hopefully), random posts as I try to get pictures off my cell phone camera.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
And that's exactly what I've been missing. Those pages of deep colour and free flowing tangles. The Ratoon and Anthem page are stunning. And well done on working with haWy - I tried a couple of times and it nearly broke my mind. But it's got potential so I won't give up. Lovely to have you back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jem. Your encouraging words are always an inspiration ๐
DeleteDear Michele, I have missed your poweful posts for a while and I am happy to see you back here on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI have reduced my comments because of the lots of social media (I feel a little overwhelmed with all the communication).
But today I am happy to write you a comment here: thank you for being back on your blog and much more thank you for drawing my tangle Sinko!! With the colours I love !!
๐๐๐๐ Best, Simone
Love the pages! I too have some unfinished work that I need to revisit!
ReplyDeleteNice that you're back again, dear Michele! I already missed you.
ReplyDeleteYour completed tiles are really beautiful. Everyone had their problems with Hawy and everyone needed more attempts to get a good result.
I like all your finished tangles in your typical way of coloring and drawing style.
Best wishes from Germany, Margarete
