Double Diva Challenges: #315 and #316

Diva Challenge #315 Entry
Tile for Diva Challenge #315

I’m late in posting my tile due to a very hectic schedule last week. The challenge for last week was a study of Molygon, an official tangle. The step out is available here.

Molygon is a fun and versatile pattern and you really can do a lot with it. I decided to keep mine simple and loose, and I added shading consistently to the “insides” to help make the moon shapes stand out more.  Thanks for this opportunity to explore Molygon further! Continue reading

Diva Challenge #252 – Tangle Within A Tangle

Diva Challenge #252 Entry
Tile for Diva Challenge #252 (Tangles: Rosewood, Lap)

This week’s Diva challenge is another in her String Theory series. The Diva is challenging participants to chose a tangle to use as a string, and then to tangle within that string. As she puts it, “it’s like Inception… but with tangles”.

After a reasonably thorough search through many existing tangles, I settled on Rosewood and Lap. Rosewood was originated by Sandra Strait and  a step out is available here on her blog. Lap comes to us from Lizzie Mayne. A step out can be found here.

I liked the idea of Rosewood as a frame, and then to have Lap in the center. Lap is a lot like Hollibaugh, but creates a cool woven effect. Thanks to the Diva for another fun challenge!
