Yay, Laura is back with a new Diva Challenge. Okay, I know she was back last week but I’d already done a tile and blog post and had it set to publish, so I opted not to change things. I am glad Laura had a good summer and am glad she’s back to issuing challenges.

This week’s challenge is to use ‘Nzeppel. I really love this tangle. I thought it was beautiful when I first started tangling YEARS ago but I struggled to make friends with it. I think it was when Crazy ‘Nzeppel was introduced that I was able to make friends and now I love it.

I started this tile thinking I’d add a few other focus tangles. I chose string #12 on tanglepatterns.com for my starting point. I thought I might put one of the angles across the background. I started by using ‘Nzeppel. When I finished with it, I decided less was better and merely added a few loopy shapes and called it done.

Here it is before shading.

I don’t know what tangle that loopy shape is. It’s kind of a mesh of the shape for Drawing, Showgirl, and probably several others.

Here’s what it looks like after I shaded it.

Here it is smaller, as it looks better.

And finally, here is a picture I took outside in direct light.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Until next time, God bless,
