I had a mixed reaction to this challenge. Part of that is that I have only tried Cirquital on a few occasions and was not pleased with the way that it turned out. If there is a circular area in a string, I am more likely to use another tangle. I guess though that is what the challenge is all about. It is doing something different from what we normally do or are comfortable with. I don't have any similar feelings about Opus, but I must admit it is also not one that I find myself using a lot. Not sure why. I was not really sure how to start, so I went back to basics and did a string. Since I knew that I would be using Cirquital, I included a couple loops. I pretty much envisioned Cirquital being the primary tangle and Opus being the embellishment. As is usually the case, the shading presented the most challenges. Since this is not a tangle that I have a lot experience with, I was generally pleased with the results first try. I hope that you enjoy it.
I have not had a chance to look at the other entries in this weeks challenge but am off to do that now. If you have not all ready, would encourage you to go to
I am the Diva and look at what others have done. I continue to be amazed with the diversity of things that I see.
