Both of these patterns are brand new to me. The Copada pattern was a breeze to learn. It just flows. The Chebucto was more difficult for me. I found that I needed to create a new step-out that I could use. Once I got my ducks in a row, it was Tile Time. I really got into the Zen mode this week. Once this tile was started, there was no stopping. I could not believe that three hours had passed. It doesn't look like it should take that long. This was a great Challenge. Thanks, Diva Laura, and Margaret Bremner.

Wow this looks great David! Love your idea of radiating lines instead of borders. Very dramatic. Well done
ReplyDeletesunshiney! everything I've seen from you today has been cheerful and light. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun getting lost in a tile, isn't it?! I really like the stipple and shading between your "rays".
ReplyDeleteRays of beauty!
ReplyDeleteThis composition pulls the viewer in even though it is radiating out which produces a very interesting effect that had me mesmerized for a bit. Good job and a very successful approach to this week's challenge.
ReplyDeleteWOW, David, I love what you designed here. The nimbus is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWell, David, not only have you created a brilliant tile, with movement and depth, not to mention seeing both patterns in a new way but also, you have solved my problem with Copada too! Bet you didn't realise you were THAT good, did you? Ican see now that I'm trying to keep it too regimented. Back to the drawing board with a freer hand and a lighter heart. Thank you, for a lovely piece of work and a bit of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow David - This is brilliant. The depth and perspective are amazing. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is really clever! Great job to create a "duotangle-sun" with these two patterns! I love the result, looks wonderful :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's beautiful David! Great choice of colours as well!
ReplyDeleteI redid the stepouts too and STILL messed up a few times! I love how you implied warmth with the bits of yellow and the perspective just draws you in. Great composition, David!
ReplyDeleteAgain you did it , real art this tile. Inventive done to make a shining briljant sun with the borderpatterns. I love your work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative solution. A Chebucto Sun. I love how you doubled the pattern around the sun, and made the sunbeams with chebucto and copada. The use of color is just enough to make the tile very interesting without looking to busy. Well done David. More and more I become a fan of your work, it is just great and very creative.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! From the design to the colors. Great work!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant tile! Very creative your Chebucto sun and wonderful colouring! I do love it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous tile. I did my Chebucto in the round too! (Great minds, huh!?)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully inspired you've been! A great take on the challenge that I would never have thought of. It's full of enery and really brought a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDelete:-)....love it. to hear that you entered the zen mode is great too. i use to experience it, but allthough it's called ZENTANGLE, when i read about it, mostly only about the tanglepart. time for me to focus more on the zenpart.thank you for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteGreat persective and just the right touch of color. I don't know how you do it, but your work is always a joy to see...and especially something sunny and bright after yesterdays ocean of snow. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletelove this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sunny tile you created. The colours are fabulous and the composition wonderful.
ReplyDeleteEine sehr schöne Fliese, die Farben sind gut ausgewählt
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use them as rays! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteOne word..... Superb!
ReplyDeleteJust awsome!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tile
ReplyDeleteIt's a Bright Sun shiny day! Stunning tile! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally amazing! Your use of color is perfection - just enough, and exactly where it really enhances the design. (So jealous!)
ReplyDeleteLike a lot about this tile. I like the perspective and also impressed with your being able to do Chebucto in a circle. I tried and few times in my journal and just could not get it. Like your use of color as well. Have been doing things for Square One and sometimes forget about using it, although I do not use it a lot anyway.
ReplyDeleteTerrific tile, David. Great concept. I really like the circular Chebucto, and the yellow is just the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteLove the dimensionality and perspective on this tile.
ReplyDeleteWunderschön!
ReplyDeleteDavid, your little bit of color is always so delightful. I look forward to seeing your tile each challenge.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh...the sun! It is such a lovely rendering of these tangles. I couldn't seem to get past looking at these as borders. Your's is lovely and I can never resist adding color!
