The Diva has returned! This week the challenge (#366) is to go Back to Basics by revisiting several official tangles: Hollibaugh, Meeko, Printemps, and Crescent Moon. It is nice to have the opportunity to return to these very familiar tangle patterns with a fresh eye.

Here is my tile:

I had fun with this tile, and like the effect of filling in the quadrants of the rough diamond shape with the patterns.

Following a similar theme (at least as far as Hollibaugh is concerned) is this week’s “It’s A String Thing” challenge.  In this case, the challenge tangles include Hollibaugh, 7Keys, Sling-Slang, and Diamonte. The goal is to practice layers and fills, utilizing IAST string #259 by Adele Bruno.

My tile appears below.

The surrounding three bands of Sling-Slang, 7Keys, and Diamonte made a nice frame around the Hollibaugh. It was fun to learn the three less familiar patterns.

Thank you for visiting!
