Diva Challenge #177- Truffle

This weeks Challenge is called, Truffle. It is guest hosted by the youngest CZT, Caroline Broady, and her delightful pattern, "Truffle." I used the D-Vine pattern and some patterns I don't know the name of. The original size was about 4" x 4 1/2".

I am submitting two images this week, firstly the challenge piece, which was fun to do. Secondly I created a piece as a tribute to Laura Harms son, Artoo. I used two Patterns, Artoo, and a tangleation of Huggins. It's a Hug for Artoo.

  5. Both of these tiles are just beautifully done. I love the color and shading on the top tile and I always love to see something winding in and out of something else as you so creatively did in the second tile. Artoo will love his hug.

  6. What a great way to use Truffle. It's a real feature and the colouring is lovely - understated and yet... As for the Artoo tile, it's a great idea and beautifully executed. Two very different pieces of work and a lot of talent.

    1. Hi Annette. The red on Hugs for Artoo is a Pigma Micron .01 pen. All other colors are Loew-Cornell Water Color Pencils. No water was used to activate the colors however. I like it just the way the color looked before the water step. I got the pencils from Dick Blick.
