Diva Challenge 247 - UMT: African Artist by Tina-Akua Hunziker

Ooh, I'm so very busy at the moment and Tina's tangle is new for me. If I'd more time, I'd have another go and make the smaller sections alternate. As you can see, mine ended up at the same level as each other and I don't think that's quite how it's intended. Never mind. I really enjoyed the Diva's Challenge - as always - and I rather like the 'strangeness' of how mine turned out, like some undersea creature not clearly visible....

White on black with a little shading using what looks like a piece of my son's chalk...needs must sometimes! Is anyone else rather concerned how quickly the Christmas holiday seems to be approaching?

Diva Challenge 218 White on Black

The Diva had a 'low key' birthday last week - a relief, I should think, after all the dramas. I hope she has a great year, she really does deserve it and I'm sure there will be some good times ahead. I can see an improvement in little Artoo in the year that has passed and he has taken the hurdles in front of him with determination and courage. I hope things continue so in the years to come.

Our challenge this week was to tangle white on black or - if that wasn't possible or we chose otherwise - to tangle on something we had found. I knew that somewhere I had some black card. It took me an age to locate it and so I am saying this is my 'found' object. Is that OK?

I had an overwhelming urge to do a Zendala. There are not too many identifiable tangle patterns in this option, but you will see Zinger, some modified Japan Diamonds, Laced and Bales and a passing nod to Cyme. It was done on the scale of a Zentangle tile - you can just see my pencil outline I think - and I drew it entirely freehand, hence the irregularities!! LOVED doing it and will definitely be doing more. (Even though I have no shading on this at all and I am addicted to shading!) The lighter part in the top left is because I took a photo rather than scanning it.

Thank you and enjoy all the other contributions on Laura's blog, I am the Diva.



Have a great week! Axxx
