Weekly Challenge #147 from I am the Diva

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

This week, Laura's challenge over on I am the Diva was to include one of her own tangles - Boo *Kee - an incredibly versatile and yet very simple tangle that immediately brought to mind snowballs,(Laura's own submission) snowmen (Ledenzer's glorious take) and other jolly things.

I was tempted to go very geometrical but then saw that Kailey had beaten me to (and probably at) it! So I thought about pearls ...and then saw that Debra and Dawn had both offered some beautiful pearls. I'm not going to link to every single entry but I really enjoyed looking at what everyone else has done this week - I so often feel very inspired by what I see (and yet must confess, I also feel very small!) and Boo*Kee is obviously a real winner!

I am beginning to feel a little Christmassy too so here is my take...baubles...
Thanks for looking.

    Beautiful baubles , I like the cobom with paradox, and the way you did every circle with some beuatiful patterns. Great Tile!

      Thanks Donald...did you notice one that has only Boo*Kee? Wish I'd thought of using that one tangle in different variations for all the orbs...Axxx

    I never even thought of making them big, like you did. That's the fun part of this, looking at everyone's take on the same thin. Really nice piece!

      Many thanks, Jean. I did several 'practise' ideas to start with and really wanted to do pearls...but saw quite a few lovely versions of this idea had already been done. I also felt that Christmas was coming along and saw a chance to decorate a few baubles! Such a versatile tangle - there've been some wonderful submissions to the challenge. Axxx
