Welcome back to Laura
over at i am the diva. The challenge
this week is to use Arukas in our tiles. But first I have some catching up to
do.
I did a second tile for Sandy Hunter’s challenge #195, “Turning Old into New”. I started that week out showing you the different ways to do Widgets, but wanted to also show you a finished tile.
Next up is Emily Classon’s challenge #196, “All Dolled UP”. I had this one started, and worked on it during the week, but last week was a busy one for me as besides teaching full time, I was also getting ready to do an in service day for teachers at the end of the week, using a new program that we are learning this year at school. Those always make me a bit nervous, especially the tech piece, so I really needed to get my ducks in a row! I have a doll that a good friend of mine gifted me a couple of years back. It doesn’t really have a name per say…. It is called a "D, ends in it" doll, to be used for stress relief, and it was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the challenge. It gets used frequently when things are not going so well! So here is a tangled "D" doll.
Lastly are the two Bijou tiles with a couple of different ways, using Arukas. I only had the wee ones with me, so would like to try this on a larger tile, but for now this will do.
Thanks for visiting and
for the kind comments you leave. They make my day.
Have a Great Week, and
Tangle ON!
Lovely tiles. I especially like the focus on arukas on the bijou tiles. Just the right size.
ReplyDeleteThank You! :)
DeleteHoly heck, you did those on bijous?! Crazy brave.
ReplyDeleteDidn't really have a choice as that was all I had with me when I started the challenge. :)
DeleteI love that widget tile, I really must have a go with that pattern. The doll is a little scarey because of that stitched up mouth but the patterns are very good indeed. And the two bijou tiles are amarvellous demonstration of how block colourong can change a pattern. Quite an education.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteAll are beautiful but I especially like the bijou tiles :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)

Whee! I am so excited!
DeleteYour tiles are very beautiful, but I'm a bit scared by your doll ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour arukas bijous look great - most I like the left one!
Ha! She did end up being a bit scary looking! I do love my real D-fill in the blank-it doll thought. She comes in handy for those days we all have once in awhile! ;)
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces, and your Zebra Arukas is awesome. Great balance between white and black.
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful and i love the colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tiles, especially the first one. It seems like there's a real light in it shining out towards us!
ReplyDeleteI really like all your tiles from the various challenges. If you were to punch a hole for a sting in your aruka bijous, I can see them as Christmas tree ornaments. Fun.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tiles indeed!
ReplyDeleteI like the little ants in the background on the right. Cool shading technique.
ReplyDeleteTerrific job on your Widget Tile. Love your "D" doll Tile. Fabulous job on the patterns you used, especially liked her hair. Your "Bijou" Arukas Tiles are awesome. So much detail in such a tiny space. Beautiful, Kate.
ReplyDeleteYour work is gorgeous! That doll's mouth is greaaate...hahaha, she makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteWow! That widget tile is stunning! Really makes me want to try widget too. and your doll is so fine, as David I love the movement in the hair. Finally your arukas are great too, so perfectly done, amazing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tiles. I particularly love that doll, especially her hair!
ReplyDeleteLove the Arukas on the Bijou tiles. Beautiful. Wonderful job on the other tiles. (Nathalie)

Hello. I love your stress relief doll - looks a bit crazy - and then a bit cool too. Your Arukas are dynamic. loved the alternating areas of being filled in and not; and then not completely filling in the whole Bijou with the Aruka. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteChallenge 197 : J'aime beaucoup ces deux 'tiles' en noir et blanc, ils sont faits pour être l'un à côté de l'autre.
ReplyDeleteChallenge 197: I love these 'tiles' in black and white, they are made to be the one next to the other.
The Bijoux are fab! So much powerful art in a teenie space. Have a brilliant day! c
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteI had to stop by to see what you are doing,when you aren't leaving kind comments on our Zentangle tiles.I love your work, and agree that the d---it doll looks a bit like a voodoo doll. She is certainly a doll that I know!
Gorgeous works of art! That doll is adorable and the Arukas are so lovely and rich.
ReplyDeleteBusy teaching! How do you get time to do lovely Tangles as well!!New follower.
ReplyDeleteThanks for nice comment on my Arukas bauble decoration.
