Fiore di Pietro, this week's Diva Challenge, for Peter's Memorial Book. This pattern was designed by Rho Densmore as she grieved the passing of her brother-in-law. Rho is putting together a memory book for the family and has asked to use our drawings in the book. Rho, yes, you may certainly use my drawings. What a wonderful thing you are doing for the family! You are all in my prayers.
Above was my two-page spread. I drew this out in my new smaller Smash Journal. The pages are small and compact, fun drawing in these books. Patterns on this page are: fiore di pietro, pokeleaf, and sunz (my pattern.) Coloring was done with Pitt Artist Pens.
Rho's new pattern was a real challenge for me. I spent 3-4 hours drawing this 2-page spread. I'm still relatively new at this and speed is not my friend. My fiore di pietro is different on this page, a variation so to speak. And totally not planned. It just turned out this way :). I do know what I did 'wrong', but I like the two different versions. This page patterns are: fiore di pietro, pokeleaf, and pokeroot. You can see all our contributions here, at I Am the Diva! Jump in and join us!
I can't see anything wrong! They both look beautiful to me, especially the second one with the pretty red pokeroot. I must try that tangle, I love it when others draw it but I've never tried it myself.
ReplyDeletethanks, lorraine, and you should try pokeroot - this is the 2nd time i've drawn it - it's way easier than it looks :)
DeleteAmazing! Love your beautiful interpretations!
ReplyDeletethanks :) and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow, love them. The subtle Fiero variations are wonderful!

I love hoe they peek through the circles - great job, and your mistakes (where ever they are) must be beautiful ones!
ReplyDeletehaha! thanks, cathy :)
DeleteNothing 'wrong' about these, you obviously put a lot of love into your work :o)
ReplyDeletethanks, sandy, it's so much fun! i go to the CZT session in a little over 30 days - can't wait!
DeleteI just have to say.....wow, these are gorgeous! So individually beautiful and yes I say wow!
ReplyDeletethank, leeann! i appreciate you stopping by and your encouraging words :)
DeleteThese are both fantastic! I love the color you used. The variations of fiore de pietro are really wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteThese are both so interesting. In the first one, your eyes go back and forth from one layer to the next! Both seem very outer space-like to me!
ReplyDeletehaha! they were a lot of fun! thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteOh you have been busy! Your work amazes me! Well done!
ReplyDeletelove them both... soooo vivid
ReplyDeleteBoth are bold and beautiful, Alice!
ReplyDeletethank you, dilip! i'm a big fan of your work!
DeleteThese are GORGEOUS!!! You did a beautiful job on Fiore and I always love Pokeroot and Pokeleaf--the colors are wonderful too! I totally agree with Gloria, the eyes love the layers and dance across the pages--well done!!
ReplyDeleteBoth pages are stunning. I love the variations you did, and your use of color on the other tangles is striking.
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome...not sure what you see is "wrong".....have a great sunny weekend.
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Cindy♥
Wow!! You have really knocked this design out of the park!! I love the dimensional look you get with the overlapping of the circles!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mix of tangles with a touch of drama.
ReplyDeletethank you, shelly! this one was a lot of fun :)
DeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on both pages Alice. I like the shell-like thing you colored in blue & white above the background... really cool! Great job! :)
ReplyDeletethanks, deb! so much fun :)
