I love this tangle. At first it was a bit difficult, but once I got to playing with it the more comfortable I became. I tried to "say" something with the first tile. I chose facets for the only other tangle because there are many facets to a person and their relationship to others. Those facets are how and why we connect with others. Even though the tangle is named Peter's flower, it reminds me of stars. So I wanted this tile to be representative of the stars and heavens. Ah well, I know what I wanted to say even if I am not doing a very good job of making it clear to others.
The next tile is simply a flower garden. Sort of a garden walkway to contain Peter's flowers. At first I didn't like how I let them slip off the tile, but now I feel differently. There isn't an end to the garden, it keeps on going even if we can't see where it goes. More philosophy, I guess.

Beautiful tiles, both of them Cathy. I know what you mean about this pattern reminding you of stars because it's the same for me. I love your garden too - especially the way it slips off the page into the unknown......
ReplyDeleteThey are both so beautifully appropriate for the memorial. And the verbal description is just as lovely; and you certainly executed it well.
ReplyDeleteI think that having the facets connected that way is genius! Way cool. And Peter's garden is a soothingly beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI like both very much, but for me the first one touches my heart.

Cathy both are gems, I love the connections.
ReplyDeleteI love both of your zia's. You did a lovely job. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are great but I'm particularly fond of version 2.
ReplyDeleteCathy, these are both beautiful! I love the stars and how the flower garden meanders off the tile! Really love what you did with both!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Although I love them both, I think I prefer the simplicity of #1...thanks!
ReplyDelete2 completely different looks - i like them both! i enjoy the simplicity of the first, and the detail work of the second!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job. Tile #2 is simply out of this world.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like both medieval star patterns and spiky flowers. very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteBoth are great again! Keep up the lovely work :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful!
