Assunta and wood burning

One of the tools that I picked up during my trip to USA was a wood burner and after struggling to get the voltage corrected (US works on 110v and India on 240v) I started tangling.
Varun's cricket bat came into my radar and well now its a one of its kind designer bat ;)



and here is a block using Hollibaugh, Featherfall, Fans, Betweed, "Assunta" (dedicated to Maria by Rick on her Birthday) to name a few


Well this one is also going in the weekly challenges @ "Iamthediva"
Do drop by at her site, with links to many beautiful tangles. There are some highly talented ladies out there.

Asuunta 36

This week at "iamthediva" the challenge is to make a tile using the new tangle Assunta.
Elongated figure of eight :D



The tangle took around 5 to 6 mins, but the shading was challenging.
How does one know when to stop?

Have made couple of birthday cards using my new cuttle bug and am pretty excited with the result.
Will post pic soon
Till then good night and thanks for dropping by

this is life


Outside a pet store, in the middle of the day, siesta time...bliss

tile in tile

Sunday, and I am late :( been busy this whole week and the challenge at "Iamthediva" didn't help. Made two tiles but feel that's there's something missing.

In the first tile I erased the background a bit to give it a distress feel

Friday...hmmm

Friday is a day to relax ( yeah yeah)
Its that day of the week when I chill, listen to music (what crab as Varun would stay)

the truth is I go crazy on Friday!! Its the day when I reflect and realize the DO LIST is no where half through and the week is coming to an end and there are a zillion things still to do...

One of the thing I forgot to do is upload my tile for this weeks "Iamthediva" challenge (can you imagine that), moi who can't wait for Mondays, as they bring exciting challenges forgot to do so....you can imagine how the week was!!
So this weeks challenge is by Dear Christina( i LOVE her work) and the challenge is opposite attracts...
WOW!! Thanks Laura and Christina, enjoyed it.
When I finished the first tile I wasn't too happy with the string that I had used


and then i drew another string and the result is...



so I am off to finish my to do list and hopefully by end of this weekend all done ( haven't I heard that before...hmmm)
have a great weekend guys and thanks for stopping by!!
