Diva Challenge #162

In a real rush this week as we're upgrading our computers and nothing seems to work properly....at the moment. (And I have my fingers crossed as I say that - no easy task when typing!) And sorry about the shaded edge on my tile - I drew it in a notebook I bought at the wonderful Alhambra in Granada this weekend. What an inspiring place to visit - and paradise for a Zentangle practitioner!!

I didn't think to capture my string before I started tangling - my initials are AT and I do them one on top of the other, with the cross bar of the A sharing the cross bar of the T - quite obvious when you see my tangle!

I decide to use only those tangles that started with A and T as well, to make it even more personal and that way, got to try a few I didn't already know.

Great challenge by the lovely Laura on I am the Diva. Thanks for looking - let me know what you think and don't forget to see all the other great contributions on Laura's blog.

      Linda, it is really one of the most glorious places in the world and it's less than an hours away...I would be there all the time if our own beautiful Moorish castle wasn't just ten minutes away!! Pure pleasure!
      Thank you - the trumpits are lovely, aren't they? Axxx

    The shading is very nicely done. What fun you must have had shopping. There's nothing better than a new notebook just waiting to be filled. I also like the Trumpits. I don't think I have ever used them before. Must fix that at once!

      Thank you Jean - I always love the shading part so I'm glad you like it. There's nothing better shopping for a new notebook, especially in such a gorgeous setting. I think I will be using Trumpits again too! Axxx

    Nice touch of using your chop for your string. Looks great.

      Thank you Annemarie - I had to admit that the shading is almost my favourite part of tangling...! Axxx

      Thank you Chrissie! If you ever come to the Alhambra to visit again, you must let me know. I think two tanglers would find even more pleasure in exploring it together than one on her own! Axxx

    Wow! Love the idea you used to only feature tangles starting with the same letters as your initials. Very nice.
