The Challenge from the Diva this week was to create a tile inspired by Earth Day or as it now known at the Diva's as Amanda Day. I thought what better to express the Earth than a string of "the Earth." So my string is based on a Western Hemisphere view. Once drawn, I realized how much water there is vs. land space on our lovely planet. The space to draw the continents was tiny and I wanted more than one represented, but you can definitely see that my waves are the predominant tangle on this tile. I tried to tie my tangles into the continents, not too sure how successful I was. North America is represented by Baton which reminded me of the stripes on our flag. Pais represents South America which is Spanish for country so I thought that might fit. Africa is Wellinstil which has little flames in it and since Africa seems hot to me I thought that worked. Then I was a little unsure for Europe and I thought of England and Aero candy bars so the bubbles are representing Europe. Greenland got some bubbles too. It was a fun and challenging challenge this week. Thanks Diva!
A stunningly beautiful organic tile!
