A Challenge Trio

My first thought when I saw this week's Diva Challenge was, "No, I think I will skip this week."  Four new tangles. Ugh.  Then I looked more carefully.  Pais  looks like a tangleation of Flux. Keenees is a tangleation of Jetties, and the other two looked easy.  I tried copying one of my friend Sonya's light and airy strings to see if I could get similar results.  What do you think?



Then I looked at what others had done and realized that they used ONLY the 4 challenge tangles, so it was back to the drawing board. It is so much darker than my usual art is because I was lazy. I sat down to tangle about midnight, wanting to stay up while Birdie had her birthday sleepover.  I grabbed my tangle tote, my water, and my glasses, and sat in my comfy chair.  Then I realized that I only had my 08.  Oh well, I was enjoying sitting down far too much to get up for a proper pen.


So today, I thought I'd give it a go with a proper pen.  This one I didn't like at all until I shaded it.  Next time you don't like one of your tangles, try adding shading.  See if that helps.
