This challenge has a great theme! The Diva says: "A while back Jo in NZ sent me an idea for a challenge... the idea is that you use one tangle as the 'string' and then fill in all the spaces with other tangles. A tangle within a tangle....So, this week's challenge is to create a tile or ZIA using a tangle or tangle section as your string, then to fill in the 'blanks' with other tangles."
And besides having a great theme, it was really fun! When the Diva's challenge is posted on her blog each Monday morning, I read it, digest it, think about it, review my 'tangle bible', scribble a few strings on paper..... and, bottom line: I procrastinate because ideas just don't easily bounce around in front of me and get lodged in my brain! Ugh!!!!
Artist block? Perhaps. In the words of one artist: "In art, there are many tools to be used. But all these tools are rendered useless when you are missing the most important one: inspiration." by *arriku
And when I read the guidelines for this challenge, I was inspired!!
Thanks Jo and Laura.

ReplyDeleteExcellent!!!!
ReplyDeleteInspiration indeed, very nice!
ReplyDeleteOh, great use of many tangles! I really love the subtle color of the square spirals and that they are so linear filling the inside of what is a very non linear, non symmetrical Mooka tangle. and all that is inside a paisley! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I love that you were able to go three layers of tangling and get such a beautiful result.
ReplyDeleteNicely done, I really enjoy your picture within a picture effect.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteI loved both of these but especially the second one. Loved the elegance and simplicity of the tangles within the tangles, well done!
ReplyDeleteI love how you made pokeroot look like cherries. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI like your paisley Mooka!
