Knights Over Tipple

Weekly Challenge #137: "Duotangle - Knights over Tipple"

The Diva asked for squares and circles with knightsbridge and tipple. I decided to add some triangles  by using tripoli as a string design.

The Diva is a star with her blog reaching the superb milestone of reaching over 1 million visits!!!
Congratulations Laura!!!

 
On our trip home we followed the Murray River to Echuca for a
relaxing stop and trip back to the days in history of the paddle steamers.


Paul likes second hand shops in country towns so we would often stop to search for
bits of treasure. He wanted an old brass ruler, the type he used an a apprentice at
the Railway. Fortunately he found one at our last stop in a beautiful antique
shop in Maldon.

    Beautiful and also very restful. Kees, my husband, is visiting second hand shops everywhere we go to find nostalgic things.

    Great Tripoli string - but most of all, I like the way you've curved your Kinghtsbridge so it looks puffy - this is like a quilt!

    Brilliant as always. Hey you passed by me on your travels this week! I'm halfway between Echuca and Maldon. Plus I was thinking of you as I used two of your tiles for my Diva Challenge this week. ;)

    Great job. Creative to use Tripoli as a string. Your shading adds a lot to this.
