Weekly calendar

Well i am a little behind again. Roxy (seen below) decided that she needed to play with my calendar and mess it up so I had to put it into a notebook. This dog is paper hungry i think. Anyone need a shredder? She is great at it. Me and her have had a ruff couple of weeks she got really sick with a blood infection and then when almost over that she got stung by a bee. Oh it has been crazy.

 Right after vet visit with bee sting to face.

 Took two days for the swelling to go down. still not down here. But lots better.

Sweet and innocent. NOT!!! :)

Challenge 210

This weeks challenge was:

Weekly Challenge #210: "Spiralstring - that's the thing!"

This week's challenge is to use a spiral as your string... I like to come back to a simple spiral string because frankly i find them to be challenging because they don't really close off anywhere.  PLUS they always look so cool.


So I played around a bit with making it look like a weave. Messed that one up and I keep coming back to the pattern "Coil". I hadn't tried drawing it yet so I decided to give it a try and was very happy with the result. I have had a hard time leaving it this way. I think it needs something in the background but at the same time I like the simplicity of it too. :)

One question for you how do you keep your pencil shading from smearing after you are finished. I heard one time to spray with hairspray but was just wondering what you do to set your drawing.

Calendar Update :)

So I missed posting the last two weeks calendar drawings. Oops. :)

The first one I messed up on so I played with some shading. Not even a tangle was just playing. ;)

Challenge 209.2 :)

So I decided to play around and make another one. :)

Challenge #209

Well I think this might be the fastest I have gotten a challenge done I got it done yesterday. :)



Weekly Challenge #209: "Saint Patty's"

i love a holiday themed challenge.  This week's challenge is to GREEN UP your tile. 


Hope you like it. :) I will probably play around some more and make a few more. :)

Challenge #208

Well here is my weekly challenge entry. I cant seem to get the right effect  want but I will stop before I mess it up :).


Weekly Challenge #208: "Duotangle - Cubine vs Pokeroot"

I just love me some duotangle.

A duotangle is a term that originated here on my blog - and it means to use ONLY TWO tangles and their tanglations throughout your tile. 

For this week's challenge please use only Cubine and Pokeroot and their variations. (follow the links for the step outs)

I wanted it to kinda look like a planter or discarded tube with weeds growing out of it. :) I wish before i put black on end i would have drawn some coming out end. Of well. may redo it :)

Thanks for looking,

Vicki
