Break Free

Oh, isn't it fun to just head off and break free!
When ever I think of breaking free it is usually about a trip and the tangle tripoli represents that freedom to me, tripoli can gather together or head off in its own direction. Laura's challenge #86 this week is about moving out and breaking free of our borders.
It is school holidays here so Heidi and Samuel (our Grandchildren) have been for a sleep over, it is springtime and the garden is in blossom but it needed a good clean up. They have helped plant, rake, wash down outdoor furniture and now they are older ventured over the fence to catch tadpoles on their own.

  1. This is wonderful. I had wanted to use tripoli but was unable to make it work. I love the "leaves" scattered about.

    2. ahhh, triple as in triangle.... makes sense. I especially liked the 'columns'. Too soon for me to mess with color, -still learning the patterns, but it is something to look forward to. Keep showing us all how to do it!!!

  19. This is gorgeous. Tripoli is one of my favorite patterns, and I love how you incorporate it here. I love how it breaks free and explores off the tile. I also like your use of color and the inner design in tripoli.
