My first offering uses rainbow colours and tangles beginning with the letters LGBT. And because my bff is, by chance, gay, I've included lots of hearts for him.
girlande, luv-a, heartvine, telis, brayd, loveline, heartstrings
I wanted to do a second tile because I wanted to do some shading, which I find difficult to do with the colours (and I didn't have time this week to get out all my coloured pencils). I also wanted to use the correct process. I am forever forgetting to put those four dots in the corner and join them. (I still forgot to sign both of them.)
lazy eights, giotto, betweed, trumpits
And finally, I can't resist showing off the embroidery project I finished this week that I started 30+ years ago. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't pick up all the sparkle from the sequins. I had so much fun doing it, I've bought another one to do. And I've found another unfinished embroidery project to work on. Fun, fun, fun.
Thanks so much for the lovely comments that have been left in past weeks. They truly warm my heart. Have a great week.
Both of your tiles are great. I love the rainbow and hearts. Congratulations on finishing your embroidery.
ReplyDeleteLove your happy tiles. Hugs to your BFF! Now on to the big finish...
ReplyDelete30 YEARS!!!! and you picked up another one? You're as crazy as I am.
Both tiles are lovely and so different.
ReplyDeleteLovely tiles.
ReplyDeleteBoth tiles are delightful! And such lovely movement in both!
ReplyDeleteNice tiles - and so different!
ReplyDeleteI appreciated your thoughts as well as your tiles this week. Do you think your next embroidery project will take 30 years? When you finish that could you please come to my house and finish my quilt? ;-)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely tiles and great embroidery! What a treat to have it done!
ReplyDeleteLovely Tiles, Kia. I enjoy seeing what Patterns are used in these fun Challenges. You used your selections well. Great job, and your embroidery is awesome. Beautiful creativity shown all the way through your Post.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely tiles! I like them both!
ReplyDeletethat's a sweet tile. I like the simplicity, and all the hearts are wonderful. Also, that embroidery project is great, especially the part about you starting it 30 years ago. hahaha! I know how that feels...the 30 year old project, not necessarily the finishing it. Great job!
ReplyDeletedear kia, thanks for reminding me that i use to forget to write the pattern-names of my tiles. if you go back to the comments from my entry #188, i wrote them down now.
ReplyDeletehave anice weekend.
Very airy and elegant. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your embroidery Project - it Looks like a lot of work, but the results are worth it. Good for you for hanging in there all those years (phew!). Your colorful tile is delightful. I love the delicacy of each pattern and the care with which you drew them.
ReplyDeleteThe "ribbon rainbow" is a great idea, and nicely done.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the shadows as well
And congratulations on the completion of the 30-years project :)
Your rainbow is wonderful! Such much light and love!! Thank you for coming to visit and for your kind comment!! I got behind but I am here now :)
