DC 270 and EIM Robot

The Diva Challenge was to use the tangle Skye.  NOT EASY.  (Emphasizing, not yelling.)  Still, I love it, and hope to use it again.  Added the tangle Mac.ra.me to increase the tangled feeling.

This week's Inchie challenge was "robot."  This word brings to mind many images and other related thoughts.  Particularly unpleasant are the robots (computers) that begin acting on their own behalf.  They can get downright scary!  One exception might be Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons.   (Remember her?)  She did tend to do things her own way, but usually with good intentions.  I'm afraid this rendition looks a little scary, however.  :)

Diva Challenge 269 and EIM Button

The challenge this week was to use the new tangle Ellish.  I decided to add Molygon to the tile which interestingly enough looked related to Ellish with a few little swirls.  Fun!

I tried to draw buttons that one might sew onto a shirt several times, but was unsatisfied with the result ... so, I switched to the keyboard instead.  It's probably not called an ENTER button, but it's just going to have to do this week.  :)

Diva Challenge 268 and Inchie 3D

Use "a-bit-o-black" was the challenge by Diva Laura this week - which meant to use a little more black than you might usually do.  This challenge coupled with the fact that I'd read about "rounding" for the first time made me think about combining both ideas into my tile this week.  So here it is, Rick's Paradox rounded a bit with definitely more black than I would usually use.  (I'm not altogether certain I did the rounding correctly, but I rather like the result.)

 Next the Every Inchie Monday word of the week is 3D.  Here are my offerings:

Have a wonderful week everyone!

DC 267 and EIM Brain

This week's Diva Challenge was to create a duo-tangle using Pokeroot and Drupe.  Here's my offering.  Not my favorite effort ... thinking it needed more dark, but I'm not sure I wish to invest the ink!  Nevertheless, it is done and it isn't even Friday.  YAY.

While thinking about the Every Inchie Monday theme for this week "brain" I'd planned to draw the gray matter version.  But, when I searched for images to use for inspiration, I decided a brain scan would be more fun - and certainly more colorful! 

Diva Challenges 265 Stripes and 266 Crux

Some weeks are more difficult than others.  Last weekend my daughter moved out.  On Saturday we packed the van and on Sunday we made the move.  And even though we spend our lives as parents preparing that child to be independent and capable and do everything we can to make sure those wings are strong, it's still a little sad when indeed they fly away.  Fortunately (for me) she has not flown far, And I know my husband and I will enjoy our empty nest.  Still, I will miss the pitter patter.  :)

Well ... all that to say, I did not complete last week's Diva challenge (#265 Stripes) on time, and this week's challenge (#266 Crux) is barely going to make it.  Nevertheless, here they are:

Diva Challenge #265 - Stripes

Diva Challenge #266 - Crux

Oh!  Happy Mother's Day everybody.
