mooka v assunta diva challenge #83 - wild violets

after playing around adding a new post to my blog tonight, before I headed to bed - I clicked onto the diva challenge to check out if there were any more entries from last week's challenge and "surprise" the new challenge was up. As I'm in Australia I don't normally get to see these until Tuesday, and then with work, etc, don't get to have a play until Wednesday or Friday. As soon as I saw these two challenge patterns I thought of violets in the grass - and, because it usually takes a while for an idea to pop, I decided to just go with it. hopefully I'll get to experiment a bit more a little later in the week - I love mooka, but haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet.


so, at 11.59pm Monday, Melb time, I have finally done a Monday challenge... hx

Beautiful! Love the touch of color and your 'mooka' centers on the violets. They would be welcome in my garden!

Absolutely gorgeous!

It is beautiful, I love the colors!
This tile is gorgeous; and frankly, is the first rendition of assunta that I really liked. You have taken a very structured tangle and made it beautifully organic. NOW it goes well with mooka, which is one of my fav tangles.

just so perfect!! in essence with your naturalistic organic 'style'. I hang out on Monday nights waiting for the weeks challenge and often can't leave it until the next day, so another late night Monday!! :))

I really like your combination here. Mooka has such a delicate feel to it anyway and combining Assunta as violets is simply genius. Such a special tile and so inspiring.

thankyou! I was really pleased when this idea just jumped into my head right away - I usually have to do quite a bit of doodling before something really grabs me :)
Helen said…
thankyou :) I do love the flow of mooka - I haven't really used it all that much, yet :) I had fun finding a way to make assunta fit in with it - I would probably struggle with it as a full, connected pattern, am hoping to have a play though, and find out.
Helen said…
are you in AU, too? I am normally tucked up in bed by the time the challenge is posted, but this week I was messing around finishing up a drawing. It usually takes me some time doodling ideas till I can think of something I want to go with, too, so this instant response to a challenge is probably a very rare occurence for me!
Helen said…
Thanks, everyone for such positive feedback :) I was really happy with this one when I finished it, but as I was working on it between 11pm-midnight (a late night for me), my judgement may have been skewed! lol! glad to know it wasn't :)

Laying on the floor, flabbergasted....This is so pretty. I never would've come close to even imagining anything like this. Your mooka is so beautiful and free flowing and assunta violets--so sweet! Just gorgeous...I am in awe! Love!!

Hi Helen, I left my comment on your other blog- I hope you'll find it.
