188 Diva: National Coming Out Day

This challenge from the Diva at I am the Diva was so much fun to do.  First of all, the cause is essential.  Second - (not to make light of the seriousness of the issue) - I get to use my rainbow coloured pens!  I do want to say that I think equal rights and acceptability for all types of sexuality should be a non-issue, as everyone is human, and that's that.

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.

  6. I 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? ;-)

  10. that'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!

  13. Congratulations 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.
