Diva Challenge # 244: "Tripoli Triptastic"

Have not had a lot of time to tiles for challenges recently but when I saw what this week's challenge was about, wanted to try to get something done. Had the opportunity when I had to wait for some routine work to get done on a vehicle. Tripoli is a tangle that I like using. I would not say that it is a "go to tangle" like it is for The Diva, but I like it for the secondary pattern that develops when you use the different fills in the triangles. Since I have not been able to participate regularly, I also decided to try to combine two challenges. I think it was last week that it was being minimalist. I chose to do this with this tile. Here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it.




Tangles used: Tripoli, Henna Drum

The tile is one that I did for a class when was doing alcohol inks to add color to tangling. Had it as an example and decided that I would use them to tangle on. These were with Dylusions inks. I think the colors on here are Turquoise and Crushed Grape. When I did these I sprayed the tile with water first and sprayed the inks on the wet tile.

I hope that I have some time to look at some of the post of other people. May not be able to comment a lot as still working on getting inventory up for the market that I am participating in the next 4 weeks. If you have not, visit I am the Diva and see all the great art created by other artists.

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

Go Tangle !!

    I like the colored tile and what you have tangled on it! Tripoli and Henna Drum are really fit for each other.

    Nicely done Donald! I like your Tripoli with the breakaway triangles, and the lovely Henna Drum adds a softer touch for balance. Great splashes of pink and teal!

    I love how you filled the corners of Tripoli, the floating pieces, and the addition of Henna Drum. Henna Drum is a favorite and I never think to add it. Lovely colors too.

    I like what you did with this week's Diva challenge. The viewer can decide whether the floating pieces of Tripoli are falling off or falling on to fit into a puzzle. BTW, I am completely sober ;-) I like the way you prepped the tile to add the color with alcohol inks. I've seen that in others' work as well. I just added learning the technique to my ever enlarging "to do" list.

    This is so light and lively, love your contrast between Henna Drum curvy and the structure of Tripoli. Beautiful background!

    Such beautiful movement in your composition. It just flows with the colors! I have not yet used inks, but yours are inspiring!
