Diva Challenge: Truffle

-
Let me start right up front by apologizing for my entry this week. I had the day from H-E-Hockey-Sticks yesterday with a migraine. I had no business attempting the challenge last night, but I did. And I promised myself I would always put forth my first effort for better or for worse. Turns out...it was worse.

The challenge was to use 'Truffle' in a tangle. Truffle reminds me of dandelion blossoms so  that's the direction I took. It's muddled and sloppy but here it is.

I hereby solemnly swear to never to doodle under the influence of  a headache or it's medications again. 

PS: The 'bombs' dropping from the sky are supposed to be dandelion seeds. I'm going back to bed.

I saw some lovely palm trees there. I'm sorry you suffer from those nasty migraines and hope they just go away forever.

You are really to hard on yourself. I like the tile and it's shading.
Hope your headache is gone by now.

when you sit out on the back porch in the evening, and the sun is setting, the light is low, slanting across a broad meadow, you see golden flecks spinning. maybe bugs, maybe seeds, maybe a spider "ballooning"...all of them flickering and golden, passing along in the light.
That is what this piece reminds me of. It's so...meadowy :)

You should not apologize for this tile. It is so original and cute. Doesn't look at all like someone suffering from a migraine did it. Many of the details - like how some of the stems go behind and come back down, and the shadows - are just superb.

I love the idea of dandelion blossoms and despite your migraine I think it is a very fun tile! Hopefully you have recovered by now, as I know they are not fun to have, and I hope the tangling brought you some relief!

First thing first - I just love your beautiful tile. I first saw the drawing and smiled, and only then read your text (and was sorry to hear about the migraine, and hope you feel better by now).

Your decision to always put forth whatever comes from under your pen is nothing short of inspiring.

And now about the tile - I love it (again). I love the leaves, and the "palm trees", and I actually saw a long greenhouse in the distance, and then the skies, full of summer seeds and creatures.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful

Hope the migraine has not returned. there are a number of things to like about this tile. You did a great job of shading/shadowing. I like the Sanibelle across the bottom. I also post the first thing I do. I think it helps with finding some satisfaction in what was accomplished no matter the circumstances.

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
