Diva challenge #241

Diva Challenge #241
Looking over my blog, it has been a while since my last post. I am surprised that I missed 3 challenges, since I am, for now, unemployed  and living the good life of applying for jobs, catching up on projects at home and just living in general.  I really enjoyed this challenge.  Thanks to the Diva, as always for her time.  I am delighted that Artoo is doing well and back to school.  Also, happy to know that there are Moms out there who are still at home occupied with the most important job in the world - raising our children.  I, also, was part of that small minority who are lucky enough to spend those challenging years at home.  Many thanks to my husband, who brought home the bacon during that time.  So on to the challenge -  I loved it  as I am a huge fan of rocks and stones in general. I have read up on cairns, long before this challenge, after encountering many of them on my trails through Boy Scouting and other hikes.  This is my offering for this challenge.  I am thrilled that I have completed it early in the week - That means I will have the pleasure of looking at everyone else's challenge tiles.  (I try not to look at other tiles until after  I have completed mine!)  Many thanks again to both Paula, guest blogger and Laura for sharing your life with us.  Carpe Diem!

Diva Challenge #238

Diva Challenge *238 - Tri-Bee
 
I just love organic tangles - love the way they grow and take on a life of their own.  Since I was released from my current contract,  I have a lot more time to tangle, so I'm hitting this challenge early on in the week.  I used just two tangles - Tri-Bee and Tropicana. We are having beautiful fall days here in Wisconsin - It's a great time to be alive!  Since I am accumulating so many tangle tiles, I decided this is a good time to start a journal-type tangle collection.  This is my first entry.  Thank you, Diva, for the challenge and your time.  Enjoy these colorful days before the snow flies.

Diva Challenge #237

Diva Challenge #237
 
I used one of my kid's Tupperware stencils for this.  Can you tell it's pumpkins?  This was a fun challenge.  I used a little salt with the watercolor - gave it a really nice texture.  It is a little hard to tell from this picture, though.  We have had some beautiful fall days here this week so I borrowed some of the colors from changing leaves.  It's my favorite time of year even though I know that soon, very soon, the snow will fly!  Happy Autumn.
