Diva Challenge #219 - Straight Lines

This weeks "IamTheDivaCZT" Challenges, is to use only straight lines. Drawing only straight lines is not so easy, fun, sure, easy, no. Trying to make some curves out of straight lines is possible if the lines are short. I like the movement this created.

I thought I would be cute, and try to draw Printemps, using straight lines. They turned out looking like a six-sided Emingle instead. Thus, everyone gets to choose their preference for what to call them.

The other patterns I used are: Hollibaugh, Ing, Paradox, Meer, Cubine, Stripes, my pattern Putki, and Arukas,


Thanks to everyone for your comments on last weeks Challenge.

  1. I like this one. There is a lot going on, but it doesn't get busy. You did some really nice weighting of some of your lines too, which really helps add dimension. Great job!

  3. This works. I like the spiky parts and the way you made curves out of straight lines. Some clever thinking here.

  4. Nice work. I like the flow of this tile. Like the subtle use of bold lines (does that qualify as an oxymoron?). The shading really creates some nice depth.

  5. Is Putki the one that looks like a zipped zipper? Fun tile. It almost looks like a map to a fantasmical theme park!

  6. You came up with a really nice tile using all straight line tangles. You managed to attain lots of movement and depth. I think it's interesting how you "straightified" some usually not straight line tangles. I'm seeing zippers too. Fun piece.

  8. I had to look up Putki ... wasn't familiar with this zipper-looking pattern. I love how using it with the angular printemps integrates the entire tile. This is a great tile.

  12. I really like your tile. What a funny idea to tangle Printemps with straight lines! They look strange but pretty :-)
    At first your tile doesn't look as only straight lines and that was the fascination of this challenge, wasn't it!? Great work :-)

  14. I love your combination of tangles. It has a sort of Rube Goldberg meets Steampunk feel - I keep waiting for something to come down that zipper-like conveyor belt to further amaze and delight. Wonderful!

  21. This is tremendous! Every portion of this is in motion...almost looks like a machine of some sort. Cool beans (no those are curved)!

  22. Wonderful mix of shapes in this David, and so much movement! I love the way that Putki fits in there too. I have tried it and absolutely love that tangle! There is so much here to find that the more I look at it, the more I find. Wonderful piece!
