This Wednesday is Earth Day, so
Laura challenged us to keep Earth in mind while tangling. She suggested we could use any shape or material we wanted, but I chose to keep it 'simple' in black and white. I hardly ever use circles as a basic string (zendala), so that was pretty new to me.
I used Inapod for (only four...) continents, River for the oceans and Quadog to represent the people on Earth. The result looks OK, although in my mind, it was gonna look more spectacular. Oh well... ;-)
This does look like a lovely earth!! But I certainly understand the feeling of things not coming out as I imagined them :) But what a cool idea!!

i know you, i follow you on instagram :) haha! i like the way you used quabog to represent the people - cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the tile and the tangle for people is awesome
ReplyDeleteThat is perfectly drawn! Very nice movement and pleasing to the eye. Great! Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI see an earth encircled in sun's rays. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI also love that fringy outer tangle; its got so much movement. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI also see a sun and let's face it----no sun, no Earth. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile. The border makes me think of that Michael Jackson song, "We are the world".
ReplyDeleteLovely tile :)
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool, the way it vibrates as if alive. nice job!
ReplyDeleteYes to all the above - it has a life of its own, this one.
ReplyDeleteI love the representation in your tile! Don't sell yourself short :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the Inapod. I know what you mean about not getting what you thought you would. Many of us have that problem as we are just so hard on ourselves. You created a great tile. Just pretend someone else did it and you will be happier at once!
ReplyDeleteWat een geweldige zendala voor Amanda day!!!
ReplyDeleteIlse, in my estimation this is definitely spectacular! LOVE the outer edge and your idea of the rivers, people continents is so symbolic and clever.
ReplyDeleteLovely tile !
ReplyDeleteLeuk zoals je hebt nagedacht over de tangles, het is een mooie tile geworden!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, it looks spectacular, and so much thought was put into it! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great tile! I love the Quadog around and the idea to use Inapod for the continents. A very nice composition and to look at it gives me a feeling of warmth and sunshine :-)
