Diva #283 UMT: Centre Square; Square One: A-Dalfa + Beeline

Just getting caught up at the last minute. 

The Diva's challenge this week, the first of the month;
is a UMT (Use My Tangle), and the tangle is Centre Stage, 
by Aleesha Sattva. As is often the case; I did 2 versions:
same string, #175, viewed from different angles; and using
Sepia and Rust Sakura pens on beige tiles. The paper in the 
tiles is very grainy, and when I shaded (with Prismacolor 
pencils), it wasn't possible to smooth the shading.  So there's
a little extra texture.


Be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out one of the Challenges yourself.

I did 2 previous tangles at Square One: Beeline and A-Dalfa;
I'm not overly fond of Beeline, but I really like A-Dalfa.
It's very versatile; lots of tangleations.

Square One has you going back to the basics.
Try it, you may like it.

  1. It makes for an interesting texture when it's not smooth paper, harder to work with but often such neat results!

  4. Uncomplicated but very nice Diva tile and about the second, indeed A Dalfa is beautiful, I didn't know the pattern but I'm gonna learn it now.

  5. I like the subtle differences in your two Diva tiles. Rough paper can be great for Gems, particularly for the part with the least amount of colour.
