In practicing this Pattern, I started to work with the design a bit and came up with a tanglation of the original pattern. It was a very fun pattern to work with and it presents a lot of potential for a wide range of design experimentation. Thanks Cris. I just bought your book, "Pattern Play" two days ago, and it was great seeing your step-out for Seton on page 62. A fortuitous and timely purchase.

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments left on last weeks two responses to the "Betweed" challenge. That was a fun one, too.
What tha what!? That's lovely. I like the way you take a tangle and keep the original spirit but give it your own beautiful spin. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous. The colours blend well together, and your tangleation of seton is brilliant. My first glimpse of this I thought I was looking at a professionally made coaster.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how you weaved the tangle.
ReplyDeleteAnd the colors.....so beautiful.
Great job !
Very creative, David.
ReplyDeleteYour tile has its own spirit and I like this variation of Seton very much.
ReplyDeleteTogether with the colour it looks beautiful :-)
This is such great work, David! At first I hardly recognized the pattern. Your tangelation of it is very harmonious and that shade of red is really ... generous is the word that comes to me. It's deep and warm and glowing, do you see what I mean?
ReplyDeleteI had promised myself to work your way through this challenge but I haven't even started. Your tile is great inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
This is beautifully fluid and takes away the need to stick to the grid. The origins are based on a church window and the colours in your tile seem to be a homage to stained glass. You have gone above and beyond the brief. It's glorious.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely tangleation David! It is so flowy and natural. It reminds me a bit of ceramic tile from Morocco.
ReplyDeleteThis is so very creative, David. I love everything about it. Like Nat said, it's hard to find the original tangle at first.
ReplyDeleteDas Tangle sieht fantastisch aus
ReplyDeleteThis is a very unique and stunning tanglation of Seton. I love everything about it. The flow, the colors, and the layout! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is realy design Art. I agree totaly with the words from Jean. Stunning and Unique .
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Fabulous tile and I like the vibrant colors, Working really great.
ReplyDeletethis is stunning, Dave! I like how Celtic it looks, and the brilliance of the red, juxtaposed with the more muted lavendar and green...absolutely lovely! Fun to look at.
ReplyDeletelove your tangleation - especially the way lines go under and over each other and the somewhat wavy effect you have achieved. well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, David. Just Wow! A beautiful example of successful thinking outside the box. As I look at everyone's work, I am more and more intrigued by the possibilities presented by Seton. Thanks also for the positive review of Chris' book. I think I know what I'll be giving myself for the holidays this year. :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly set the bar high. It has become its own, new creature.
ReplyDeleteWOW! - The color is magnificent - but the way your lines intertwine is just mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDavid, this is such a lovely, lovely tangleation! I somehow am reminded of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet with those vivid and gorgeous colours. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome - your take on "Seton" is beautiful and so intricate that I have difficulty figuring it out - Great job. It looks like a very classy stained glass window.
ReplyDeleteWow David! That is amazing!

ReplyDeleteI am amazed at your variation / interpretation / inspiration on the original pattern. How you took a grid and created such a flow from it. Simply amazing.
And in addition - the colors and shapes... Stunning visual
How many different ways can you say Wow! Like the Hollibaugh effect of you bars and the colors are just great.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I really enjoyed this piece! I think the colors really make it lively...nice work! The flow of those lines in and out really create a sense of energy.
ReplyDeleteMy first response was wow! Your interpretation of this tanlge is amazing, creative, unique - stunning and you had fun! Impressive:)
ReplyDeleteDavid, I looked around but can't find a mention of the type of pens/ pencils you use. Do you have, or could you do a post about hoew you get those lines and colors? I would love more information. Your work is just stunning.
