Diva Challenge #225: Color

This week, the first guest post appeared on The Diva's page, while Laura is having a well deserved holiday break. Jen Crutzfield challenges us to make a tile using colour and as she suggested, I limited myself to use only two colours. 

Like Jen, I'm more of a 'black-and-white' type of person, but this doesn't mean I won't take the challenge. 
To make things even worse :-) I chose to use two colours that easily hurt your eyes when being put together: pink and red. 
For the shading I used pink and red colour pencils. 

So, you're looking at string #104 and the patterns 2-N-5, Chard, Bales and Zin. 

It's not my favorite tile, but I like the brightness of the result :-)

  1. Not the obvious choice of color - but somehow it works.

  6. It still is a pretty tile. Sometimes it is difficult to stretch out of our comfort zone. That's why I like the challenges :)

  7. Samen zijn het zeker heldere kleuren, en ze spatten dan ook van het papier af.
    Het ziet er heel vrolijk uit. De combinatie van tangles is ook heel goed gekozen.

  13. I like the color combination. If it was a bigger piece, it might be harder to look at for long. Nice shading with on this also.

  15. I'm a Baby Boomer and the colors you chose remind me of the colors we used to wear back in the olden days, you know, during the 1970s. In fact, the tangles you chose also remind me of a skirt I had back then. Nice.

  20. I read Suzanne Fluhr's comment and laughed because that is exactly what I was going to write. My sister's wedding in 1972 had colors of hot pink and orange...a bit hard on the senses. Your work is beautiful and thank you for taking my senses back down memory lane.
