This week's Diva Challenge is a Duotangle. It puts two tangles together that are to be used to create your tile or ZIA. The two tangles picked, Diva Dance and Crescent Moon seem to be two tangles that just go together. Both tangles use auras and filled shapes. There are probably more variations for Crescent Moon, but Diva Dance is versatile in that it does not really have a specific shape. It can fill a space of be used in a line. As is usually the case, the most challenging thing for me is the shading. I think on this one it was not so much the tangles as it is how I used them. I was trying some different things. I hope you enjoy it.
If you have not all ready, I would highly recommend going to I am the Diva and looking at all the great pieces that others have done. If it so moves you, leave a comment about what you like. Most people who participate enjoy some feedback from others. If you are really inspired, try one of your own, even if you do not post it on the site. I plan on taking some time to look at them.
Thanks for visiting, As always, comments are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated.
Go Tangle !!
Very nice tile, Donald. I like the contrast, and the open spaces.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Audrie!
ReplyDeleteGreat donald, it looks like a jellyfisch curled down on the bottom of the sea relaxing in the sun coming through the watersurface. I like the relaxing spirit of this tile!
ReplyDeleteThis one I really like, Donald!! It has so much movement and the white space is just perfect to show off the tangles. Axxx
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, Donald! Really nice flow, & verrry nice use of shading (it looks like it's just floating off of the page!) Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Was trying to create a little floating effect. Glad you were able to see this. Have not tried this much before. Will hopefully get better as I continue to work on it.
DeleteBeautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteReally nice. Love how it looks like it is floating!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tile! I like the movement here!
ReplyDeleteDonald, I love the way that you wrapped these patterns, and your shading really helped this look wrapped!
ReplyDeleteI love this tile Donald, I notice that you've said you wanted to create a floating effect and that was my very first thought when I saw it :)
ReplyDeleteI like the way these tangles seem to flow across the tile.
ReplyDeleteReally nice way of combining two similar but different tangles. It looks lacy and strong at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSuper interesting! The coiling movement adds so much interest to your work.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the space, it's perfectly balanced, I thought your shading was very well done, you've created some great depth in your tile.
ReplyDeleteVery neat Donald, the integration of the two tangles is awesome. I especially like the ribboning effect.
