Laura Harms hosts the Diva Challenge each week.
This is her 200th offering.
Each week Laura posts a prompt,
a tangle, an idea, an event -
something specific for us to tangle and share.
Wow! Getting brave here!
This was my drawing the very first time I participated.
I'd been tangling for a couple weeks
and this was the first drawing I ever posted online.
It was April 18, 2012, her 66th challenge.
(I've learned a bit since then.)
The challenge was to use auras.
Jump forward to almost three years later . . .
. . . and this week's challenge is to use our
bread and butter tangle, the one we turn to most often,
and draw a monotangle using it.
All the way to the edges. No frame.
And to have the number '200' on the tile somewhere.
Basically what that means is to use only one pattern
and make it go all the way out to the sides.
I chose to use TootsieMoon, which is one of my own patterns.
I showed it in both the positive and negative formats.
Thanks, Laura, for 200 awesome challenges!
Happy Bi-Zen-Tennial, y'all!
Each week Joey hosts a tangle challenge. Some weeks I participate, some weeks I run behind schedule. This week I just happened to make it in time. Joey's prompt was to create a monotangle using the pattern knightsbridge.
Typical knightsbridge is drawn in a checkerboard fashion. I altered that a bit in the path sweeping through the background in the artwork above. Then I took that same checkerboard idea and put it into circles. All those little circles divided into quarters and darkened ala knightsbridge are popping up in a lot of my drawings lately. I am referring to them as knights of the round table. My very own variation of knightsbridge. It doesn't hurt that I've been watching the British fantasy-adventure Merlin on netflix. I am finally in season 5 and Athur has just convened the Knights of the Round Table to discuss strategy.
OK, Joey, I'm ready for week #35.
