Jane Reiter is guestblogger for the Diva this week. Her challenge is different from others. I have never heard of Petoskey Stones before. It is such a beautiful thing she tells us about! Go to the blog and have a look here! Here are som pics (closeups) of the Petoskey Stones:
As you can see the patterns are pentagones and hexagones.
Jane asked us to make a tile inspired by the Petoskey Stones. First I made a little Bijou:
I choose to work with the pentagone, since I never use to do that! I havent used ecoprinted tiles before either! The pattern is Quabog (Zt). The next one is on a regular tile 8,9x8,9 cm:
This one is also on ecoprint paper (Fabriano Tiepolo). I went on with Quabog, I did like this easy and flexible pattern, which I have tried once or twice. The other patterns are Zinger, Tripoli and Tipple, all Zt. This challenge was different and so interesting to do! I think I won´t forget about Petoskey Stones. Ever. Thank´s to Jane Reiter!
Lovely Petoskey Stones. Fun to try on a Bijou too!
SvaraRaderaThank's Jean!😄
SvaraRaderaYour tiles are wonderful Anita :-))
SvaraRaderaThank's Gudrun!😄
RaderaLove the second one! It could have been taken straight out of one those Renaissance natural science books - it really fascinates me => I keep looking at it and discovering more wonderful details. Very inspiring. Am definitely going to try your version of Tripoli!
SvaraRaderaThank's! I used a fragment for that Tripoli!😄
RaderaBoth are beautiful Anita and so is this Eco paper!
SvaraRaderaThank's Anne!😄
RaderaAnita, your petoskey stones look like burning hot suns. Just wonderful!!! And I love what you did with Tripoli. You made it a complete different tangle or out to the box thinking. Quabog I had to look up; never heard of it. So if I ever need sun tentacles, Quabog it is!
SvaraRaderaQuabog! Yes! Just the right tangle for these stones! I love your paper. The colors on the second tile are so lovely!
SvaraRaderaI love these! The eco-print tile is quite magical;-)
SvaraRaderaAnita, these are just SO Beautiful! You have really captured the idea of the stones.
