Diva Challenge #178 - DuoTangle

This weeks "I am the Diva Challenge" is number 178. Is that not remarkable. Laura is back, and this week she has challenged us to use two patterns which begin with our initials.

My initials being, DH, according to the rules of the challenge, allowed me to use the Patterns, Drupe, and Hollibaugh. I love Hollibaugh, and Drupe is new to me. Throw in one layer of Aura.

The size of my Tile is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.


This weeks Tile is all Zen with the exception of the size. Official Patterns by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, and using only black ink, and grey shading.

A special thanks to all of the Artists who commented on my Tile for last weeks challenge. I very much appreciated it.

Visit "I am the Diva Weekly Challenges" and see what other Tangle Artists are doing.

  3. Great ZIA David, it looks like something is wrapped with drupe bows, and lots of hollibaugh ribbons. I like it very much.

  5. Don't you just love Drupe? And, I love how you used its arms to create Hollibaugh. It all ties in together to make for a really nice composition.

  6. I love how hollibaugh looks with simple shading rather than the more usual black. The overall effect with the two linking into each other is very effective. Linda

  17. Isn't it odd how being restricted actually makes us stretch? I think this deceptively simple combination is lovely. (And the shading is so effective.) Love it.

  19. I like how you integrated the two tangles. I almost used Drupe as well but decided to go a different route. Like Hollibaugh and the shading you did.
