This week's theme of Thanksgiving was suggested by Tami. Even though our Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, celebrating our thanks can be done at any time of year. Having said that, I drew a blank on this challenge. I think I burned myself out last week with too many ideas that this week I didn't have a clue what to do.
Nevertheless, I came up with a couple of tiles. The first one is supposed to be a leaf. However, it doesn't really look like one because of the patterns I choose. I added some shading to suggest veins, but it doesn't quite work. The only thing I like is the sparse colour I added:
Tangles: Nine Patch, Riki-Tiki, Inapod, Ionic, Triadz, Beadlines, Ahh, Paradox
Tangles: Mr. E, Tipple

I love them both - especially the touches of color in the leaf. I got right away that it was a leaf, by the way. :) I especially like the border. I've never seen that pattern, but I'll definitely use it.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin is awesome. Mr. E is so fun to do, and it really makes the pumpkin look 3-d. Great job.
the leaf is so fun with those colours added. very whimsical. Good job on the pumpkin. We could almost have a patch of them.
