Woooo! I finished my coloring (from the coloring book – Imagimorphia) last night! 🙂 I made note of the time… it took me 1 hour to do the light blue, another 1 hour to do the darker blue shading, then about 10 minutes to do the cotton ball/nupastel area. My husband suggested not coloring in the little dude but maybe color his eyes, so I left him for last while I thought about it. When I was doing the cotton ball/nupastel process I put drafting tape over the little dude to protect him, then went around his edges with a Qtip. I really liked him not colored at all, and my husband agreed. 😀 The seam really stood out, so I went back and tried to remember the colors I did in those areas, I got lucky this time that it was mainly the tree and I knew which browns I used for that… in the future I’ll just color the seam when I’m coloring the things near it at the same time… lesson learned. This morning I sealed it with final fixative. 😀
Here are some close up shots… I really forgot how good it felt to take photos with a real camera! I’ve been going through stuff lately and I just grab my phone to take photos, instead of taking ‘proper’ photos with my beloved camera. Shortly after taking these photos, I got out my camera bag and set it up so that I can start carrying around my camera at all times again. I didn’t realize how much I missed that feeling I get when taking photos. Anyway, here’s the coloring close-up…
This week’s Diva Challenge (DC#315) is to study the pattern Molygon. I hadn’t realized that there was a more distinct way of doing the pattern until I watched this video. For some reason, the “start at the halfway point of the previous molygon” hadn’t registered with me before then… it made a huge difference. I really like what blossomed out from my Molygon. 😀 I practiced it first on my husband’s mug this morning…
I also tried to incorporate Eni Oken’s Choosing Tangles philosophy when I picked the co-patterns: Msst, Caviar, and Sedgling. Enjoy…
Hope you are having a good week! 😀
Until next time…

Stunning colouring work. And I really like your molygon variation.

I do LOVE the tree, it could be in a fairy-tail book. But also the Diva tile is beautiful!
Thank you, Annemarie! 😀
Wow! that tree is amazing and I love your Molygon tile. Beautifully composed;-)

Beautiful Beautiful Tree! Fun on the mug and your tile turned out terrific!
Thanks, Kate! Drawing on the mug is a fun thing to do in the mornings. 😀
Your tree is out of this world and the Molygon tile absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much, Susie! 😀
Your coloured tree looks fantastic! And your molygon tile has a perfect balance of black and white, the sedglings looking great with their little white highlights!
Thanks, Heike! You are too kind! 😀
I love your drawings and Molygon – and I admire your perfect presentation 🙂
Thank you so much, Gudrun 😀
