Diva Weekly Challenge #244: Tripoli
Thank you, Laura, for this week's challenge to use Tripoli. It is the pattern I've spent the most time with, partly out of difficulty and partly out of love :) As I drew my tile, I was focused on my breathing, on turning the tile, on keeping my auras even. Whenever I draw it, I think of the Place de l'Etoile in Paris, where the streets come together under the Arc de Triomphe to form "une toile", a star. That always helps me. Today, I also thought about the victims and their families from Friday's massacre. My Tripoli turned into a floating rectangle, which reminded me of "un tapis de prière", a prayer rug.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece Jennifer! I have the same apprehension with Tripoli. I love it but more often than not, it starts well but quickly goes off the rails;-) Thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog, it's still one of my favorite tiles.

DeleteTripoli is harder than it seems it should be. Given the events in Paris last Friday, it's interesting that your Tripoli composition turned into a prayer rug. My prayer is that Islam can be saved from its psychopaths.
