Diva Challenge 266

The Diva has some gorgeous pictures on her blog this week, of her boys doing lovely creative things. And at the same time, she manages to inspire a larger host of people across the world. That deserves some big appreciation. Thank you Laura - you are most appreciated!

As this is the first Monday of the month - and the 1st Monday of May no less, when workers of the world unite - it's the Use My Tangle challenge. We have Henrike Bratz's Cruz, which I have used before as it's such a focussing tangle with lovely depth. I'm heavily into practising Eni Oken's Ruutz at the moment, so here you have my attempt at these two together. I haven't exactly deconstructed Cruz, but I've separated the elements a bit for some contrast.

Very much enjoyed this challenge - thanks again, Laura!


And whilst we're here, I'll share my entry for last week's It's a String Thing - another tile I really enjoyed doing. We've had a little break from work and school this week, so it's been nice to have time to tangle. I may have overdone this one a bit...lol! Quib with Echoism..echoism...echoism....echoism


Thank you so much for popping by! Axxx

    Nice tiles! Fun to see Ruutz paired with Crux and I love the cones you created for your Quib to flow from/to.

    Love how you mixed Ruutz with the Diva's challenge. It takes a brave person to tangle those together! I find them to be something I need a lot more practice in.
    Yours is gorgeous. Sarah

      I'm nothing if not brave! (Though some call it foolish...) Thank you Sarah! Axxx

    Really nice tiles! I like the way you have morphed Crux into a different look thru your tile. Very nice. Crux AND Ruutz are both new to me!

      Thanks Patty - I really do like Ruutz and Cruz is just about as different from Ruutz as it is possible to find. Axxx

    Very nice, I like them both but my favorite is the one for the Diva. Love how you changed Crux in the middle of the tile!

      I think it needed to be changed - and it's a very versatile tangle. Thanks, Axxx

    I'm going to have to try Ruuutz, everyone seems to really make it their own, as you have here. Cruz? Wasn't very successful for me but I like your different ways with it.

      I was feeling very Zen the day I did Cruz, Margaret. Today, it would be all over the place...Thank you. Axxx

      Thanks Annette, they're an unusual combination but I have been really taken with Ruutz and enjoy using it all the time! Axxx
