This week's challenge, to remake a classic, didn't really catch my fancy at first. I just didn't feel like going back through my old tiles. (Or maybe the problem was finding them! I have a stack on my desk, a mobile in my entry, a bulletin board in my closet, two albums on my shelves and "streamers" in my office.) I decided to take my demo tile from last Sunday's aura class and remake it instead.

Looking back at the challenge today, I decided I really did need to go back in time a little further than last week. I found the tile I drew in my first class with a CZT, in February 2015. I've drawn this "tile #1" composition dozens of times now for intro classes, and enjoyed exploring other possibilities. I'm looking forward to sharing it with future students.
Spending more time in the garden has been great, but I haven't been tangling as much. I decided to follow a Kitchen Table Tangle video I had missed, with "Articulated Molygon".

When I wasn't drawing fantastic crawlers, I was in the dirt, pulling weeds after the generous rain. Here are the stars of the garden this week.

Thanks for checking in! Hope you have a beauty-filled week.
A pretty remake and beautiful flowers :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the remakes! Me to haven´t got much time for tangling due to the garden!
ReplyDeleteWhen you have such nice flowers in your own garden, it is a pleasure to spend more time there than behind the drawing table. I understand that very good but I have to say nice remakes and beautiful special Molygon in your art journal!
