DC 359.2 Finger Strings

After completing the first tile, I thought about how I might have completed it differently.  And though I almost never create a second tile, I decided to give it a try.  I started with the background - then tangled the fingers.  When those were done, I decided to add the final bits over the existing tangles.  :)

Diva Challenge 359 Finger String

Using your fingers as a string was the challenge.  Here's mine:

Diva Challenge 358 - Pickpocket

I love this tangle pattern.  My first effort has quite curvy lines.  I reminds me of tree trunks side-hugging one another.

My second effort still highlights pickpocket but also features Yuma and Clob:

Diva Challenge 357: Paradox

Paradox is one of my favorite patterns for sure.  It is beautiful as a single piece, but when several are combined, there is a real surprise element.  I decided to try something just a little different ... by drawing paradox behind. 

DC 356 "What's in a Name" String

This week's Diva challenge required us to use our name or another word as the string that divides the tile.  Here's my "melissa."

DC 355 Verve

Verve is simple to draw for such a dramatic little tangle.  I love doing the shading.  It reminds me of one of my favorites - sand swirl.  Here in New England perhaps it should be called snow swirl!  Three Nor'easters in 11 days!  We got about 20 inches of snow yesterday ... so thankful for that snowblower! 

DC 354 Siri (Use My Tangle Week)

I started with a grid a bit too small for the pattern Siri.  It was difficult to be accurate in connecting lines, etc.  I think I'll try again on a larger scale.  Happy week!
