Tile 1:
I love the look of white on black; however, I don't have any black tiles, but I do have a lot of darker colors of cardstock that I used to use for scrapbooking, so here I have used a dark blue with my white gelly roll and a chalk pencil to highlight a bit.

I honestly don't know what I was thinking with this one...at any rate it is NOT my favorite. Nothing else to say.

Tile 3:
I had sketched this design a while back in my sketchbook and decided to play with it on a tile. I just thought it was a lot of fun, but that was before hubby and son saw it. They told me that I drew a very nice psychedelic banana and that it must be homage to the 70's that I seem to have a problem remembering. I told them it WAS NOT a banana, but I suspect that I will never hear the end of it now.

It's a tossup between tile 1 and this one as to which is my favorite this week. My hubby is from New Zealand and the All Blacks are doing rather well, so I was looking at some of the Maori tattoos that some of the All Blacks and others were sporting. Since his family that is still back in New Zealand are such supporters of the rugby team, I thought I would try a ZIA inspired by Maori tattoos. Hope you like it!

So there it is, and I hope you enjoy. This really was much more difficult than I imagined it would be. And yes, I did go through some of the previous entries for inspiration....it helps me. So now I will have tomorrow and tonight to go through and comment on the submissions for this week. If you haven't taken the time to look at all the wonderful submissions, then take a look and see the submissions for this week. You can see what's up over at the Diva's (CLICK HERE) and if you like a challenge, maybe you might consider joining in the fun. Have a great day and enjoy!
Comments are always appreciated and make me happy. Thank you!
Lovely
ReplyDeleteWonderful entries for the challenge. The White on blue makes a stunning change, but my absolute favourite is the All Blacks tile. By the way I thought that banana was a crescent moon, and I love the wrap which is draped around it. I must try that on my crescent moons.
ReplyDeleteI think the white on blue and Maori tiles are my favorites, too! Thanks for sharing, and giving an entertaining account of your journey this week!
ReplyDeleteOh these are terrific! I like the psychedelic banana a LOT! The Maori one is very special too...who are the All Blacks? Rugby? good work...i like them all.
ReplyDeleteI like all of them--even the one you're not that fond of---maybe because I also ventured out into MookaLand for this challenge. The others are quite inspired. The first one is elegant. Having visited New Zealand twice, I'm partial to Maori tattoos. I don't know what to tell you about the banana although "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which is supposedly about an acid trip, did come to mind. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI too like all of your tiles. Perhaps you could refer to Tile #3 as a crescent moon made of swiss cheese? ... or not :) My husband is an All Blacks fan as well ... something you don't hear too often in the States.
ReplyDeleteLove your tiles and my favorite is the Maori inspired tile!
