Well, that "so easy" pattern kicked my butt. I won't bother sending you my first stab at it. It was really sad.
I'm not over joyed with this tile either, but it is a marked improvement. I added a couple of Narwahls by Samantha Taylor crossing in the background.
I took the opportunity to play with my new toys -- a set of Microns in earth tones. I chose the green one to draw a string meandering in and out of the little holes in the linx. But it was so dark, it just registered as black on the scanner. When I played around with the scanner, I didn't find a solution for it, but I did try converting the whole thing to sepia and I kinda liked that. Below are the B/W version and the sepia.
Thanks Suzy. If it weren't for your challenges I'd never try some of these patterns.
