Diva's Challenge #139, UMT vXXI, 8's Parte Dos

This week's Diva Challenge is a UMT (Use My Tangle) The tangle to be used is 8's, Parte Dos by Jane Eileen. The step-outs for this pattern can be found here, on Jane's blog. This pattern can be quite tricky; it requires real concentration. But once you've mastered it, you can take it in lots of different directions.

The first one I did was really not so hot, very static and uninteresting; but I decided to include it here anyway. I used Sepia Microns in 01, 03, and 05 on Strathmore Toned Gray paper.
 I'm much happier with the second one. I used 01 Microns in Sepia and Brown, on the same Strathmore Toned Gray paper. I added some highlights with a white charcoal pencil, and a bit of shading. Now that I see it on my computer screen, I realize that it's a little off-center, but it'll have to do.


Be sure to visit the Diva's site; see the other wonderful submissions, and maybe try out one of the Challenges yourself.

Thanks for visiting, and leave a comment, favorable or not. That's how we learn and grow; and how we know someone out there is paying attention.

Have a wonderful day, week, month; see you all next time.

    Both are beautiful, but the second one is GREAT! It's an Indian feeling, like a dreamcatcher.
