catch 'em if you can

Last week I launched my Leftovers Project - an ongoing aim to use up those left-on-the-pile tiles.


This week's Diva Challenge gives me the perfect oppurtunity to grab another and use it.  This tile has been on the heap for a long time - in fact I've got a sneaking suspicion I probably drew the string for a previous circle based Diva challenge...

I filled the varying sized circles with a new variation of N'Zeppel that appeared in my sketchbook yesterday, as well as a couple of other tangles I've used lately and still have their hooks in my mind (Cat-kin and Crescent Moon).  I added colour using some new paints - that I clearly need to practice with more, because they came out a fair bit more intense than I expected.  Some stippling softened the surround.


I like the finished tile - it reminds me of thought bubbles drifting by - some calm, some complex, none likely to last long.

  5. The repetition of tangles and your placement choices resulted in such a harmonious and balanced composition. Such a pleasant tile at gaze at.

  11. I love the way you have stippled around the orbs for shading. It really adds a lot of depth to the overall picture. The colors are such beautiful deep, intense colors that it just lends an air of drama. Very stunning!
