This week the Diva's Challenge is a UMT one - Use My Tangle, where we get to submit our own tangle ideas for the weekly challenge. This week's tangle was designed by Daved, submitted by Carole Ohl. Steps for the tangle "Bridgen" can be seen here on Carole's blog. Above is my drawing. It was interesting to use and I actually trashed two before I completed this one. I have issues with lines - can't seem to get them equi-distance apart. Ugh.
Then - just because I could - I added a little color with my derwent inktense pencils (that I love!!!) And I even flicked some specks of color around the tile. An easy hand on that one so it doesn't overwhelm the design. What fun! Check out all the bridgen drawings at the Diva's page here! And maybe you'd like to give it a try and share with us :).
Love them!

Fabulous job! I love the color and the flicks!! Great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your work. Both tangles are beautiful. I have got to get some colored pencils. They always look like so much fun!
ReplyDeletethey are fun, cathy! i think i probably overuse them - but i can't help it :) haha!
DeleteBeautiful! I don't normally like alot of color, guess I'm just in love with the simplistic black on white, but you did such an awesome job of adding just the right amount of color - Sensational!
ReplyDeletethank you so much!
DeleteNo one said the lines have to be exactly the same length....or if they did I didn't get it, however, I love the color and the design in both of your renditions of the same zia. Equally beautiful color emphasis in both!
ReplyDeleteso fun and playful. I love them both.
ReplyDeleteVery Frank Lloyd Wright looking! Prairie Sytle! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty with the colors--it softens it and your eye relaxes following the flow of the string. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletethanks, dawn!
DeleteBeautiful piece! I love the added color...really makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I love how you used the color in the first one, on just the beads. It really makes them pop! I love my inktense pencils too!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh, so nice! I love how you added the touch of color!
ReplyDeleteParty party lovely swish and fling!
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty! Sparkling colours add to the charm!
ReplyDeleteThis really turned out nice. I like it even better after you added the color.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design and color!
ReplyDeleteI really love this! The colors are beautiful and I think this tangle looks best when we limit the additional tangles. Simplicity is beautiful! I had the same problem with making them the same width! Practice practice, I guess! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! Especially the one with the colors. I knew it reminded me of something, and Molly Bee hit the nail on the head--Frank Lloyd Wright's window designs! Great job.
ReplyDeletei'll have to check that out!
DeleteAlice love them both. Just enough color to set them off in a lovely way.
ReplyDeleteI love your tile and the colors are oh so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThese would make lovely greeting cards. Soooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of the inktense pencils, I think I may have to get mine out again for a play!
ReplyDeletejules - they are definitely my tool of the moment - i love them!
DeleteOhh very nice! I love the color and the perfect amount of color that you have added. Very festive and yet calming. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!! The color makes it look so different...but so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe colors and the tangles blend beautifully together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Hope it did not bring any painful memories back.
