I’ve been madly scribbling away in my sketchbook trying to come up with some new tangles and, although it’s not quite right yet, I used one here in honor of my mom. I also used David Hunter’s first tangle on Tanglepatterns, Pinbawl, coz he’s still in my thoughts and prayers…and it’s a great tangle :-). The rest is filled it in with Printemps…which is “Spring” in French…something which those of us in the colder parts of the world are desperately hoping for, so it all just seemed to fit together.
My mom was 95 and in an assisted living facility, so most of her “things” were either sold or given away rather than shipping them across the country. My “inheritance” consisted of a silver bookmark, a few photos, and a box of costume jewelry. She had A LOT of clip back earrings and I love looking at the different patterns on them. The tangle on this weeks tile (lower left) is sort of like one of those earrings…I’m still working on it, but I decided to use it this week anyway since it fit with my theme of love, friendship, and hope. (OK, my tangles are never “themed”, but this one sort of worked out that way).
So, that is my wish for everyone this week…Love, friendship, hope, and blessings. Happy Tangling!
This is so sweet. I love to see pinbawl used. If it is okay, I’d like to forward this to Dave, I know he will appreciate knowing your thoughts are with him, and he’ll be delighted to see his pattern used. I also love the little pastel printemps, highlighted by the black background. Lovely!
I was thinking of David while I designed and drew the tile, so I would be most honored if you would like to forward it to him. Pinbawl is now in my repetoire – it’s a great tangle and it’s designer is a great guy. I just hope I did it OK. Thanks, HeidiSue!
Nice til, I love the coloured Printemps!
I love the little hints of color!
This is a lovely tribute to you mother!! Like you, I think of David a lot and pray that he will find comfort in family and friends.
Wonderful tile! Great contrast and so lovely the coloured Printemps!
Beautiful 🙂
Consistent with your theme, your spiral tile reminds me of a cornucopia. . I’ve never met David Hunter IRL, but I think of him every Monday when the Diva’s challenge goes up. I hope he’s finding peace and courage.
This does remind me of a cornucopia. I like the contrast created with the black background.
Nice tile and I like the spot colors
