Jane Reiter, CZT, is the Diva's Guest Blogger this week;
and she's come up with a fascinating challenge:
Start with a Bijou tile (2" square). Cut 5 squares of
mat board, card stock, recycled cardboard,
watercolour paper or Bristol board in
successive sizes to correspond to the Bijou tile:
3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, and 7”
squares.
Tangle the Bijou tile with any tangle (or tangles) of
your choice, then tangle the borders of the larger squares.
This is a good opportunity to use border tangles,
or any linear style tangle.
Here are mine before stacking:
and here is the finished stack:
I thought I was going to do a few of these, but those
5 borders took much more time than I'd expected.
But I really like the concept, and I know that I'll
try it again, perhaps in color.
Be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful
entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are,
especially with this technique. Maybe you'll be inspired
to try out one of the Challenges yourself.
This is really worth the time you needed to do it. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Annemarie. Your comments are always appreciated.
DeleteExcellent choice of tangles for your borders! It amazes me time and again how powerful black and white + shading can be, when skillfully applied. And you definitely displayed your skills in these tiles! 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. It helps much to have others' opinions.
DeleteI love your stacked tiles,but the largest pattern worked out beautifully as it really does look like a frame. I have to agree with Miss N above as to how powerful black and white are. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I specifically used that pattern because, with a little shading, it really does look like a frame.
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
