Diva Challenge #180: "UMT - MacDee by Anneke Van Dam"

Busy week so this will be a short post. The Diva did another UMT challenge this week. It is a tartan like pattern called MacDee. You can see the step out and some variations here. It reminds me of a blanket or table cloth so that is what my ZIA ended up looking like. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.





Tangles used: MacDee, Sprigs, Pea-Nuckle
I used a Red Micron and a woodless pencil for shading. 

I hope I have time to look at the other postings. Would encourage you to do so and also to try your own tile whether you post it or not. Go to I am the Diva to look at what others have done.

Thanks for visiting. As always, comments are welcomed, encouraged and appreciated.

Go Tangle !!

    Like a lot of the best ideas, this looks simple but isn't. The more you look, the more you see. I really admire this.

    I really like the way you ended the tangle edges with a tied fringe. Great use of the tangle.

    Love your Tile, Donald. Great idea using the knotted fringe, and I love your weave pattern. It all works delightfully together.

    Great idea to finish MacDee with tassles and I love how Sprigs and Pea-Knuckle look too. Linda

    Wonderful tile with your red MacDee! Especially I like the way the lines of MacDee come out into the little knots!

    I really like the use of color in this tile. I don't normally like red, but it really seems right in this context. Great job.
