Diva Challenge 173 - Redux, Remix, Revisit your comfort tangle...

This week's challenge has been issued by Sharla Hicks, a guest over on I am the Diva this week as Laura has been at the 15th CZT Seminar....and I'm looking forward to hearing more about that later on.
Sharla had a great suggestion - revisit a tangle you know well. Mix it up, change it - do something different!

This is not my forte...however, I decided to revisit possibly the very first tangle I ever did. Betweed. I was lucky to be browsing one day last September, when I came across Maria Thomas on YouTube demonstrating Betweed...and I was hooked from that moment on!

Another pattern that I have always done is very similar to Flux but with 'extra' bits. So today, I have tried to mix the two together - something I haven't done before as I am usually quite happy with tangles as they are and have never really practiced the art of tangleation! And it's fun...maybe I'll do it again sometime.

'Befluxed'!


I stuck with pen and pencil on paper but here is my Reduxed, Remixed and Revisited attempt.

      Thanks, Kia. Glad you like my tangled trees - I did this for my in-laws and it's currently being framed. Axxx

    Like the play between the two. Creative to do Flux as Betweed.

      Thank you Donald...Flux as Betweed or Betweed as Flux? I rather like the name 'Befluxed'! Axxx

    Wow what a nice blend of Flux and Betweed. This is the first time I have seen this particular solution blended together. Great Redux, Remix, Revisit. Sharla Hicks

      Thank you Sharla, it's lovely of you to pop by and say so - and it's all thanks to your great challenge for us! I have never attempted to put two tangles together at all so I'm really pleased with my first attempt...I hope it won't be my last either.
