Diva Challenge #158: " Duotangle: Diva Dance + Crescent Moon"


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 !!

  2. Great 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!

    1. Thanks. 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.

  10. Really nice way of combining two similar but different tangles. It looks lacy and strong at the same time.
