I said in my first post
this week that I thought we might end of shoveling snow again at the end of
this week and boy was I right! This is what I woke up to this morning.
Here is a view down out street, after we were plowed out.
Here I am standing
in front of the snow bank, next to the driveway. It’s actually taller than I am,
even though it doesn’t show exactly that in this photo, (I am blaming the photographer,
that’s my story and I’m sticking to it) and that is saying something since I am
almost 6 foot.
I also would like to
introduce you to a new pattern that I have deconstructed. (Drum roll…..) Here
is Tropicana. I had fun last weekend figuring it out, from of all things, a
lid. Hope you like it, and let me know if you post something that you used it
on. I would love to see what your rendition looks like.
Here is a tile using it and leaving a little
white space.
Have a great weekend, stay warm, and keep tangling!
Nice. your pattern reminds of some of the patterns have seen chip carvers use. Also have seen it in decorative wood trim and some window work.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Your tile is gorgeous and I can't wait to try your fantastic tangle!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this very pretty tangle, Kate! Your tile shows how beautiful it is.
ReplyDeleteI'll sure use it and let you know about it.
I love your new pattern! I'll be sketching it into my book tonight and hopefully using it in a piece soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI posted a piece on my blog today with your Widgets enlarged even more. I sure do love them. Thanks again for that. Here's the link if you'd like to see it: http://www.misssrobin.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-few-recent-zia-pieces.html
Love this new Tropicana tangle Kate. Your shading really gives it dimension!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous pattern, Kate! Looks like flying buttresses! Saving it to my How-To file, can't wait to try it. Love, LOVE your tile. So happy to have found you!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this tangle on Pinterest and my jaw dropped in awe - I LOVE it and am delighted it's one of your own new tangles. It is so 'architectural' and structural - AND gives some wonderful white space.
ReplyDeleteYou are obviously inspired by the huge amounts of white space around you at the moment - I hope it goes quickly and smoothly. Nothing is worse than snow that overstays its welcome.
Axxx
Very impressed with the new tangle and your tile is gorgeous! Soon we will be complaining about the heat so enjoy the white stuff!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tangle, Kate, and I can't wait to try it. You can keep the snow though :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Kate! Smooth, like the carvings on buildings.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love your new tangle too :)
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! I love it! I am adding this to my go-tos!
ReplyDeleteAND pinning!
Wonderful new tangle! I love it!
ReplyDeleteooooooooh, new tangle! & i love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove that pattern! It's so dramatic and the step outs make it look easy. Can't wait to try it. Your tile is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern - definitely a keeper. Snow not so much ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern... Very architectural!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tangle!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best pattern !!! I love playing with it; its great. You have come up with the best pattern to just play around with...many possibilities for drawing and many possibilities for shading...sorry but I am gonna wear this one out using it so much...but its a keeper. Thanks for this, Duane.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this pattern. I've been playing with it a lot. It makes a terrific overarch behind a garden-ish tangle, and it's a lot of fun to put depth to, creating a tunnel effect. Fun fun fun!
