Diva Challenge 258. UMT - Rautyflex by Kathrin Bendel CZT

The Diva has had a very interesting few days and lots of inspiration in what looks like a fascinating part of the world. Thank you so much for sharing, Laura.
And this week, with a Use My Tangle from Kathrin Bendel CZT, we have had a real challenge - well, I have! Rautyflex took me quite a few attempts to get 'right' - and it needed to be right otherwise the interesting pattern didn't quite emerge - trust me, it didn't!

I enjoyed doing this in the end but my tile is on the odd side. Firstly, I did it upside down in my sketch book - by accident, I admit - but I liked it better when it really WAS upside down, even though my light source, which always comes from the top left for me, this time comes from bottom right.

Anyway, no excuses - it is what it is. Rautyflex, with Paradox, some Sand Swirl and a new one for me, Frission.

Many thanks for the kind and caring comments last week. I am glad to report that things are now on the up again. Happy International Women's Day too.

  1. Wow! That really comes right out at you! I had thought about using Paradox somewhere on my attempt (which is pending a good picture before I post it), but you've really made great use of it.

  2. Your shading of the Paradox really gives portions of this tangle depth! Nicely done.

  6. I really, really like this. (Maybe that should even be 3 "reallys".) I know how difficult Rautyflex can be, but you clearly mastered it--and then some.

  12. This is a weirdly 3D tile, like one of those trompe l'oeil things where steps go up to go down, if you see what I mean. It was worth the effort, Annie, it really was.
