It's been a pretty awesome week, my pal Tara and I have been running together, and back when Artoo was in the hospital our schedule got thrown off. Then her little one got sick. So once both our kiddos were feeling better - we decided to tackle a 10K along the river. It was an awesome run, but the most hilarious part was when we finally hit our 10K mark - Tara started laughing and pointed at this sign.

Weekly Challenge #219: "Straight Lines all the Tines...er, times"
Today's challenge is a fun one. The challenge is to use ONLY straight lines, and i found it particularly challenging. I found it interesting to find a way to use the straight lines to create some movement in my tile.
Nary a curved line in sight.
I really enjoyed creating this tile, and i may come back to it and try it again some time.
have a great week everyone!
Have a great week.

I had to look twice ... the little black and white squares in one of the borders looked like circles. :) As always, I love your work. Fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice for a challenge, the week after Ireland voted in favor of marriage equality. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWHOOPS!! well, that was totally by accident.
DeleteI'm very pro ireland and equality. just fyi
I am too which is probably why the choice of only "straight" tangles seemed ironic to me. Maybe there's hope for the world.
DeleteGreat challenge! and your tile has a lot of depth! I love reading your weekly posts too.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun. Could probably have done better but that's just the way it goes.
ReplyDeleteLovely challenge! I am so in! :)
ReplyDeleteP.s: I so envy you for managing to find time to go for a run
thanks, it took some 'doing' but Tuesday nights are RUN NIGHTS now in my house!! :D
DeleteLooking forward to seeing a lot of great work. Also curious how many will use Paradox. Was one that Cute pictures but guessing would not be politically correct to find something to roll up in the sleeve. Like your tile.
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge!
ReplyDeleteWe were at a vacation rental home this weekend and I picked a book that belonged to the house to read to the youngest member of the group (4-1/2 months). The book was "Ride a Purple Pelican" and I thought of you when I found this:
A white cloud floated like a swan,
high above Saskatchewan,
the cloud turned gray at ten past noon,
it rained all day in Saskatoon.
Hopefully the sun is out today!
Hey Dorita,
Deletethat's awesome!! Saskatoon is home and breeding ground to the American White Pelican and there's a contest every year to see who will spot the first one. (http://meewasin.com/public-programs/pelican-watch/)
Pelicans mean spring!! :D

ReplyDeleteThank you for this great challenge idea! I really liked it and had fun to do a tile with only straight lines but not too "stright" looking... :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a tough one! Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteLoved this - but I did base mine very heavily on Jeanine Corina Hughes' entry - hope she doesn't mind. Imitation and flattery and all that!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun with this week's challenge. Different and really got me thinking about straight lines. I loved all your happy photos too!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this straight line challenge - it is fun try something different! Best wishes to your lovely family
ReplyDeleteFun! Not my favorite drawing but posted anyway because it's about the process not the result.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos of your "daily" life ;) I love the sign thihi... and the kids, wow, they are so cute and great.. I made a straight line to this challenge, so I hope it was right the way I did?... Thank you ever so much for sharing photos and all
ReplyDeleteKind regards
Mariane

So nice to see your family so happy! This was a great challenge. I love curvy lines but I also love grids...so I enjoyed the focus on the straight lines.
ReplyDeleteStraight lines are really challenging!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge was fun; but took me in a totally different direction than I expected. I would normally have used Paradox; I love the way the straight lines end up looking very curvy. But a strange thing happened on the way to Paradox; I got sidetracked to Arukas. I don't know why. So there's not a lot of flow in these tiles. Oh, well, they are what they are; at least they're all straight lines.
ReplyDeleteThose little boys of yours are really growing up. Can't wait to see how Artoo takes to Kindergarten. And I'm sure Chewie will do just great.
Just wanted to let you know how much fun I thought the straight line challenge was. Thanks so much.
