Your tiles are wonderful. I love your use of color. I'm going to have to find some of the tangles you used and try them.
ReplyDeleteWow, where to start? Such lovely tiles - it is tempting to do more than one isn't it? Your sense of design is always impeccable I love how you selectively use colour.
ReplyDeleteOkay yellow is my favorite color, so you know I love the pieces you've created here. And Pop't is a favorite tangle...well done! The way the red ribbon winds around the river rocks, too!
ReplyDeleteI must be suffering from some sort of monomania: I see binding, a zip(per), a quilter pulling her hair out, folded wadding (batting), free-motion quilting, and fireworks and champagne to celebrate the final quilt!
ReplyDeleteBTW - love the shadow on the first one!
Wow, these are stunning! Love your bijous, the choosen tangles and color combinations! Chapeau!
ReplyDeleteLove your tiles! Your use of color is just great!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know how Bijou will be able to choose, I love 'em all. i think the two with the red are my favourites but you really squeezed a lot of pattern into a little space. Nice work, David.
ReplyDeleteAll are great David! I have a fondness for Pop't though! I like that pattern and have yet to try it out, so guess I need to get busy!
ReplyDeleteAll are fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteEach one has its own beauty, but being a bit of a traditionalist at times, I find the plain black and white one most appealing.
ReplyDeleteWow David these are all great, there are some tangles there which I must try, Ooples especially. I've also visited your sketchbooks and there is some awesome work in there too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I just discovered Riverstones and want to give it a try. Might "steal" some of your other ideas too.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! David, One is better than the next and the next... wow REALLY GREAT Bijou's... I am sure he is jumping in his wee little shell.. LOL... I LOVE the colors you have added... and the tangles are all GREAT... Magnificent work/play... and thanks so much for the lovely comment you left on my blog... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI like all of them! So interesting to look at. I do have a favourite... the first one. It's quite bold with the strong colours and I am impressed with your use of sparkle and shading.
ReplyDeleteWow, David, these are great. My favorite is the first one, what fantastic shading have you done there. Thanks for pointing to Annette's tangle, you used that one very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou did a Great job with these tiny bijou. And your A fogg is aussom. Beautiful al of them.
ReplyDeleteAll are wonderful! I can´t decide for a favorite! Great job!
ReplyDeleteoh wauw! very nice!
ReplyDeleteI keep going back and looking at your work. I am glad Bijou is the one that has to make a choice. Like how the shading and color set these off.
ReplyDeleteOMGOODNESS, David!! You really showcased Ooples,out of this world! I am sooooooo excited to see it being used!! Wow, I love how you made it look like links!!!! Really that is awesome!!! :0) And wow, I love what you did with all of the different tangles and 'Bijou' tiles!! They really are fun tiles for playing with variations of tangles.Complete Awesomeness!! Love the red ribbon!! :0) Share Humanity
ReplyDeleteI love the primary colours you have used in all your tiles. Great patterns.
ReplyDeleteI like the dimensionality of your pieces, but I'm quite fond of the pop't corn. yum! I'm thinking popped corn for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I love your use of color- restraint is the key for such a tiny format, and you did it just right. Also, I love the new Ooples pattern you feature.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shading!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tiles. I love the way you tangled the patterns, and I love your use of color.
ReplyDeleteThe red in the 1st and 4th tiles adds a very dramatic effect.
The 1st tile is also my favorite.
Kudos on how you credited Annette Carlo on her pattern - both in your words and in your drawing
OMG. They are all so wonderful with very nice colors. Cannot wait to try some of these patterns.
ReplyDeleteWow, I like the way you use the red colour in your tiles!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these, but particularly like the way the tangles in #1 are all wrapped up in red. I also am interested in the mechanical/technical look in #2 - and the yellow really sets it off well. The tangle in #3 is not familiar to me and I find it very interesting.
