I also had another art form to try this week. My sister is throwing a girl weekend (lots of out of town wedding party) for dress shopping in Oct for her future daughter-in-law, and asked me if I could do some chalkboard sign art. The wedding theme will be a rustic Colorado mountain wedding and their Save The Date announcement has an aspen tree with their initials and date carved in it. She told me the wording and I came up with the design and did the art. Having never tried something like this, I did quite a bit of research. So glad I found out that there are chalkboard markers (who knew) to use instead of actual chalk! This made things so much easier. This was a lot harder then it looks and I have a new respect for all of those really cool chalkboards I see! I got it done yesterday, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Hopefully, they will like it too!

DIVA Challenge #368 Straight Lines
This week's challenge is to use only straight lines. I'll be honest, I didn't give this challenge or tile much thought. The 1st two tangles to come to mind were Hollibaugh and Munchin, so that's what I went with. To me it's a boring tile. I guess I find the curvy lines more appealing.

Love your DC tile!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Diva tile and your sign is Fab! I work in a specialty food market and frequently get roped into making signs. It's not easy at all😉 Well done!
ReplyDeleteI had trouble just using straight lines, too. I guess that's why it's a challenge. ;) I don't think it's boring, but like you, I think the organic curved ones are more fun to play with.
