T is for...Craft Barn Challenge

Well, it's that time again...and I nearly missed the Craft Barn deadline, again!  Anyway, T is for lots of things on this offering...like Teal, Tangerine, Time, Tangent, Trigonometry, Triangle - oh and Three (ribbons in the plait!!).

I did actually love Trig at school, and I must have had really good teachers for SOH, CAH and TOA to be going around in my head all (gulp 40...) these years later. 


I knew it was going to be Teal for the base, because I do so love Peacock Feathers Distress Stain.  I smooched it on, and then flicked water at it, and dried the drops off.  I used a lovely clock face mask with Picket Fence, which didn't go as obvious as it usually does, so I think I probably didn't dry the Peacock Feathers as much as I should.  So I used a black fine liner to do a spot of (wait for it..) zenTANGLE...(sorry.)

Then I used the same fineliner to draw my Tangent and Triangle (Pythagoras has so much to answer for!), and a broad nibbed pen to write my Trig equations.

 

 
Finally I dug the ribbons out (from previous purchases of Troll Beads, of course!) and plaited them, to use on my Tag. 
 
Quite simple this time.  Hope you like!

  2. A very cool page for your book but I am glad you used words because I am not a maths fan and I never understood the angles etc, so I love the colours you used and the story you told and the magic you wove in those mystical math symbols I can't interpret.Lol.
