Diva Challenge #274 - "My Country 'Tis of Thee"

The Diva Challenge for this week is to show your country's colors by creating a tile inspired by the country where you live.  Well, I live in the good ole' USA, so I used red, white, and blue.  I drew Squid and Tipple.  Here is what it looks like:


I used Gelly roll pens for the red Tipple in the background, the blue Isochor on the Squid, and the white in the middle of the Squid.  I used a black fine point Sharpie to outline the middle of the Squid.  The tile is a 3 inch coaster I ordered from Amazon.

As always, comments and criticisms are appreciated.

    1. Thank you!! Squid is one of my favorite patterns. Yes, the coasters work great. They are a little thicker so they do really absorb the ink, but the price cannot be beat.

  2. A beautiful coaster indeed, Lynn. I love the movement of the blue and the Tipple makes for a great background.

    1. Thank you!! Squid has always been one of my favorite patterns because it is so flowing. By the time I was done, the Tipple was starting to make my eyes cross.

  5. Yes, the coasters work well. They are a little thick so they really absorb the ink, but they are economical and easy to use. I have been pleased with them so far. Thank you for your comment.
