Diva Challenge 159

I'm back, and it's a holiday challenge. I often have difficulty with these, but I do love St. Patrick's Day, even if my tile is not what one might expect this holiday to inspire.

Explanation: Afterglo is a very happy pattern to me; I love to do it and I love to look at tiles I've done it with. Poke-Leaf just means life to me; it's one of the few patterns that looks like a real object that I enjoy using.

And yes, this tile is all glitter, all the time. It's a very happy tile to me. (Although I have no idea if the glitter is going to show at all!)

On St. Patrick's Day, 1981, my perfect little first baby girl (who is ¼ Irish) was born. Many months earlier, when the Hubs and I broke the news of the impending first grandchild to his folks, I saw the "grandson" lights go on in his dad's eyes, but my 100% Irish mother-in-law said with no doubt "It'll be a girl, on St. Patrick's Day." And it was, and she is, and she was the light of Gramps' eye after all.

Ahem.

I like St. Patrick's Day, but there's not a bit of Irish in me. Not anymore, anyway.

Throw Back Thursday

Making ATCs is slow work for me. I really like doing them; if I'm on a roll, I might do four or five in a sitting. And then not do anymore for months. These three were among my earliest attempts, all done On my way March 17, 2013.

The first one is Afterglo (which I love doing) and possibly Baton. If it isn't Baton, and anybody knows what it really is, I'd love to know, because I do this one a lot.

This is Vache and I JUST DON'T KNOW! What is the name of the long line with the rings around it? I learned it someplace; I didn't make it up, but if can't find it anywhere so I don't know what it's called. Again, input appreciated.

This os Florez with a hint of red. It's one of my faves, actually. I've reproduced it in a few different media, including Shrinky-Dink ©, although I can't say that came out really well.

qss!
