Whyz


Tangles used = Whyz, Shattuck, Finery, IndyRella

This tile was done for the amazing Diva's inspiring challenge, which you can find here. This week we were challenged to use Jan MacKugler's very cool tangle Whys. Have a peek here to see her actual pattern. The shading needs some work. I think I need to get out my shading workbook from Chris Letourneau and do some work. Have you seen it yet? She has done a wonderful job of shedding some light on the subject. You can find her book here.
I am finally caught up with my challenges from Laura. I have had a couple of very full weeks with Family. All good times and lots of great memories.
Have a look the post before this one. I won a tile from Maria Thomas. It's so awesome :))

  2. Great, to me your shading is excellent. Your tile has great depth and nice elements created just by adding the right shade.

  5. So I guess my shading looks better that I thought. I was thinking it was sort of one shade of grey and not many. Thank you all for your very kind comments.
