Diva Challenge #192 : UMT - Seton by Chris Letourneau" & Square One - Punzel/Chainging

Do not usually do this but did one tile for two different things. As busy as things have been I figured this was about the only way I was going to get some thing done for both of them. If you are a regular to the Diva Challenge, you know that the next couple of weeks are going to be done by guests as Laura is preparing for and dealing with her youngest son after his surgery. I am sure she and the family would appreciate any prayers and support during this time.

Chris Letourneau is the first guest poster and she made the challenge to use her tangle Seton. You may recognize Chris's name as a semi-regular poster to the challenge and also the author Made in the Shade and co-author of Pattern Play. The Square One prompt was to use the tangle Punzel/Chainging. They are different but closely related.  Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.




Tangles used: Seton & Punzel and a little Betweed

I primarily used the two tangles and added a little Betweed on the edges of Seton. As with a number of tiles, the shading is the most challenging part. I was not sure what to do with Seton. I am okay with the way it turned out, just not thrilled with it.

I have not looked at many of the things posted on the Diva's blog. Just a few that have shown up on my blog reader. I hope to have some time to look at what others have done. If you have not done so, would encourage you to visit I am the Diva and look at all the great art also. Give it a try your self, even if the only one that you share it with is yourself.

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

Go Tangle !!

  1. It's a beautiful combination, Donald. The part with Seton looks like a beautiful Asian carpet.

  2. Donald, I love your clever combination of Seton with Punzel (that tricky so-and-so pattern!). I like your Seton. It is substantial but with a bit if whimsy to it. AND you snuck in that Betweed that we have all been focused on from last week. Great job!

  11. Really like the tlie and am particularly impressed with the one going across the top, beautiful penmanship. I too found Seton difficult to place with other patterns but I think you've got it nailed.

  12. Had to chuckle when I read your compliment on my ".penmanship". You would not see it her but my handwriting is pretty bad and always has been. Not exactly sure why there is such difference other than I take more time when I am doing the strokes for the tangles. Writing was the one class I got a "D" in when I was growing up.

  13. A creative solution - "two challenges in a tile" :)
    Your Seton variation is very nice. I like how you filled the circles with an inner pattern.
    Also your Punzels are nicely constructed. I like the pattern plays you introduced and how they interact

  14. I really like how you filled in Seton. It has a totally different look that way. I also like how you added just that touch of Betweed. Good for you, killing two birds with one stone. Some weeks are just like that :)
