SOS #149: May Day

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash. This week marks the beginning of the month of May (eeep, I know!), so we're celebrating May Day, and as an off-shoot of that, we're to be inspired by the May Pole. Here are a few photos:



I thought about ribbon, twisted, rays, rainbow ... and I'm sure there are a LOT more ways to interpret these.

Here's what I made:


It's not ribbon, but it is twine, and twine is twisted. I tried to make rays out of the twine, but that effort failed miserably. This piece started out with the twine on an angle, as close as I was going to get to rays, then I ended up making it mostly straight.

I had that rectangle of twine and went looking for a sketch with a square or rectangle to get a clue about finishing my card. I chose this sketch by Freshly Made Sketches:


and the colors are from the current (and final) Dynamic Duos challenge:


So, with prompts like ribbon, twisted, rainbow and rays, there should be a little something there for everyone. I think you should join us!

Thanks for stopping by!

    That's a good way to use up some twine. I like the look of it on that panel - very clever of you.

    Great idea and I have to say you have a LOT of patience - getting all that twine nicely in rows! Cool!

    Excellent way to bust the huge twine stash! About halfway through I would've been saying some choice words ;) Love the colours!
