The Diva's Challenge this week is to try out the new Tangle, Aquafleur. I had been playing around with it ever since it was introduced last week, and I already love it. It's definitely my kind of tangle. So this is what I came up with; but it's possibly/probably not my last entry for this challenge.
I used Sakura Micron 01 in Sepia to draw it, and the Sepia brush to fill in. I then used sepia and burnt ochre Prismacolor pencils to shade, and a sort of Orange/Copper Sakura Metallic Gelly Roll pen for the embellishment. The metallic shine doesn't show very well on this scan, but trust me, it's there. I really enjoyed doing this one; I hope you all like it as much as I do.
Be sure to visit the Diva's site; see the other wonderful entries, and maybe try out one of the Challenges yourself.
Thanks for visiting; please leave a comment, favorable or not. I'd love to hear your thoughts. That's how we learn and grow; and how we know someone out there is paying attention.
Have a wonderful day, week, month; see you all next time.
So wonderful tile! Great variation of Aquafleur and nice colours!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lonett. So glad you like it.
DeleteLove how some of the ribbons go off the edge. It sure would be nice if the metallics would show better in scans and pictures, but the are so beautiful in real life!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate. I had fun with this one.
DeleteNice Monotangle. I also like how some of the "ribbons"have broken free and are floating out in the air.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Donald. I like the fact that Aquafleur lends itself to all sorts of divergences from the basic pattern.
DeleteI like the loose ones on the top and the sepia coloring. Lovely tile.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Jean.Thank you.
DeleteI love your interpretation of Aquafleur. It is so creative and your enhancement with the sepia is very nice. Great tile!
ReplyDeleteBe creative and catch some happy,

Thank you for your kind words, Jacque, I do appreciate the thought.
DeleteI really love this one, Audrie - the colours, the background and the overall effect - especially of the floating-loose ribbons. Beautiful! Axxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie. Glad you like my Aquafleur. I love those floating ribbons, too.
DeleteLike the others I also like the ribbons a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like my ribbons, Annemarie.
DeleteBeautiful in the sepia tones. I love the stitched ribbon effect you've done. Lovely, Audrie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Helen. Coming from you that's high complement.
