The Diva dancing in Lisbon

The Diva's
Weekly Challenge #327: "The Diva dancing in Li sbonGuest Blogger Henrike Bratz

For this week's challenge I decided to use a pre-strung tan tile and try to fit Henrike's fragment Lisbon into triangles.
I missed the last challenge so added some 'Nzeppel circles to fill in the spaces.




Some photos of our travels in Thailand, enjoying the sights, sounds and colours of Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Sensational melon carvings in Chiang Mai
We hired a scooter, worked our way through the traffic and ventured up over the mountains.

Scooter got a puncture, had to get a local mechanic to repair it!

    You were very brave to venture out of a square-ish grid for your first Lisbon Fragment tile with a nice result. As you know, travel is also one of my passions, so thank you for sharing your Thailand photos. We also visited Chiang Mai and Bangkok. There are some beautiful patterns all around there. Did you go to the Elephant Nature Park, the elephant sanctuary outside of Chiang Mai?

      Suzanne, we went to an elephant park, not sure if it's the one you went to. Loved feeding bananas to the elephants.

    I had considered adding 'Nzeppel to the triangles created by this pattern. It's nice to see how pretty it does look in your beautiful composition. I really enjoyed your photos of your trip as well.

    quite a creative and unique way to address this challenge. Like that yo did it on a Renaissance tile. Like the white highlights. The pictures are great. Never been to the part of the world.

    Wonderful prestrung tile, very original to fill the spaces like you did and absolutely gorgeous pics, especially the one with the melon carves. You both look very nice on those pics!

    Your left hand seems remarkably steady, and I like your shading so much there are ideas there I'd like to remember and try.
