The last couple of days we've spent at the hospital.....my buddy is having a little bit of a rough patch with the low white cell count... Throughout our "ordeal" this year, there have been two things that have really helped pass the time for me...one is my Kindle Fire (I LOVE my Kindle...for more than just books!) and the other thing that has kept me occupied are the Internet challenges I have gotten into...I can take my sketchbook anywhere and "doodle" away!
This week, the Diva challenged us to do a tile and "break outside the boundaries of the box"! The challenges are posted each week on Monday, so my other favorite item came in real handy. As the hospital has Wifi (albeit a little sporadic), I could use my Kindle Fire to get on line and check out the Diva's website to get the topic. And I could also get to Linda Farmer's website to look for tangles I wanted to use!

This looks great, Jay. I love the "streams" of pattern running through the design & how you have alternated them. Lacing looks great, too :) I hope your buddy is feeling better and that they are/soon to be out of hospital
ReplyDeleteLovely ZIA. I love how the "threads" weave through the piece and then float freely. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteI think this tile is amazing. Your penwork is beautiful (as is the tile).
ReplyDeleteWow, great way to go outside ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely, I like this zia very much. Hope your buddy gets well soon and can go home again.
ReplyDeleteThis has a really nice flow of patterns, Jay. I like the way the patterns combine as they go outward.
ReplyDeleteGo out off the paper!!!!!Very well done!
ReplyDeleteVery gentle, and very beautiful, Jay
ReplyDeleteI really like your string, and the feathery way you've broken out. Lacing is a great touch as well. Best wishes for a quick recovery for your buddy.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to break free. I hope your buddy recovers quick!
ReplyDeleteLovely, really enjoy your layering and line quality!
ReplyDeleteYou've really broken free! I really like the lacing. Hope things are on the mend
ReplyDeleteBreaking free in more ways than one this week's challenge has given you the perfect opportunity to express that! I love how it breaks free to every side of the paper and yet it remains whole!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Jay. Wonderful example of breaking free. I hope your buddy breaks free of the hospital really soon well. Get well wishes coming your way.
ReplyDeleteThis so pretty ...intricately done and very neat too:)
ReplyDeleteoh Jay, it sounds like a lot to bear and yet you find ways to make the time artistic and creative. sending blessings your way.
ReplyDelete:-)
