Here's What I Created.

But of course I had to do it the hard way and I used my oil paintings... now I have to wait two or three days until they dry and then I won't have the time, so it will most probably be next week end. Jools, you should have sent two tiles, I am already thinking about throwing it away..
I guess I can always sand it down and glue a piece f paper on it. I'll never learn

I feel your pain; this stupid little piece of wood is really p**sing me right the **** off. I wasn't happy with what I had in the first place, and now the wood/paint surface is reacting totally differently than the samples I did in my sketchbook (duh, of course ). I think I'm just going to distress the hell out of it so it looks messy on purpose, and send it along.

Ok..... hours of work to go on it. Better get back to it.

Lotsa love for y'all.
Chris

If needs be I'd suggest a light sand to key the surface and using a white acrylic to coat the surface again.

Graeme

Yes thanks Jools for the explanation, it's more clear now.

aww I hope you get that fixed Turin and Dragonlady.

Didn't I post just below this with the tally?

Where has my post gone???

*off to search it*

Hey, I'm not crazy, I made a post yesterday that has disapperead, it was between Graeme's and Nadine's. If someone erased it, could you tell me why?


Edit: Because I posted the link fo Carol's photo?

Oh well, here's the tally without the photo then (in order of tiles on photo):

- InKi
- Alanna
- Findy
- Janet
- #2
- Jools
-Graeme
plus
- Eric
- Nadine
- Atalante

as of today

- tree

Of course the image tags don't work.... why would they, on a day like this?

Anyway, the vine thing on the distressed "boards" is the front and the tengwar stuff is the back.

Turin, it's lovely, a different approach to the pink ribbon theme, I know you said you weren't happy with some of your ideas but this one is great, well done

I know Carol will love it as much as the others she already has

Ohhh, Turin, that's gorgeous!!!

Alanna, I'm stealing your smiley with the fruits!!!

Beautiful, Turin!

Findy, feel free to steal all my smileys (except for the two with the red hat, those are mine, my own, my precioussss), that's what the collection is for.

front->rear->
There you go, Turin.
You tried to link webpages and not images. Safest way is to host them on this forum (yes, this forum does a bit of hosting).

I'm done too. Why did I have to paint directly on the tile and in oils? It took ages to dry after each coat, and then I had lot of dust incrusted into it... Not to mention the ink almost disolved when I coated in with varnish. BUt it's presentable enough and I think it will do the trick



See you can see all the bits of dust

Nicely done Turin!

Oh so cute!!!

Thanks Monica.... I feel n00bish

That's great Dragonlady! I guess we didn't do so badly after all...

Merry Christmas everybody; Love you all.

OT.... cuz I just saw it, and we're on the topic of dragons.... my friend Jacqueline's latest dragon:

Dragonlady, that's very cute indeed

Well done, everyone!

Nice work Turin & Dragonlady

I was absolutely CERTAIN that someone was going to ask me what the back of the tile said... and I was SOOOOO looking forward to saying "Where's the fun in that? Translate it yourself!".

<harrumph>
TT



EDIT: Thanks, Graeme

What does the writing say on the back of the tile?

Indeed, everyone has done a great job so far, *round of applause for Howers*

How many tiles are there altogether?
If I remember correctly, Graeme made 30, one got lost to Zanzibar (maybe it will show up one day decorated by an anonymous* Zanzibar artist?), 14 have arrived, does that mean that 15 are still on the loose?


* He better remain anonymous or I'll launch a lawsuit for misappropriation of mail or something like that...

There is one to go to Blacki, and the piece Thorleif didn't use is going to Siri.

I lost count of how many bits we sent in the end but it was around 30. Let's have a think...........

Those remaining are..Cyanure, Dragonlady, Alarie, Tobi, Tobias, Canuck Girl, Me2, AJ, Rosie, Biinha, Adriana, Siri, Blacki, Irene, Avara, Moff, Corwin, Starry, I think thats 18 left to arrive.

Gosh with 14 already there that makes 32 all together

That's 8 per ribbon.
