Diva Challenge #220 - UMT - All Boxed Up

The Diva Challenge this week is "Use My Tangle." Alice Hendon has a delightful pattern that she created called "All Boxed Up." This pattern, in its original form, is designed to use straight lines. Last weeks challenge was to use straight lines. I had to go curvey and more organic to regain my balance and re-align my pens creativity. I like this pattern a lot and I hope Alice will allow me to shift from her original design. Only "All Boxed Up" was used in this Tile along with auras and some ribbons. It was a fun Tile, and I really appreciate Alice's wonderful Pattern.



Thanks to everyone for your comments on last weeks Challenge.

  1. Such imagination. Is it crumpled or seen through glass? With the shading, it looks woven with ribbons. I don't know how you kept track of what to put where but it was certainly worth the mental gymnastics.

  11. What a wonderful twist on this tangle! To me, it looks like the underside of a robin's nest with just a peek at the beautiful blue eggs inside. The consistency of the lines, the colors, and the curves make this one a real winner. Lovely!
