This week’s Diva Challenge is to use Simone Menzel’s tangle Siri. I checked out the focus tangle on Pattern-Collections.com and decided to use yesterday’s pattern focus of Magical 8 by Smita Toke. I also looked at the weekly string on Pattern-Collections and decided to go ahead and use string 68, well something similar.

I went ahead and did my border and string. Then worked a little backwards on Magical 8, since I drew the string before the 8’s. Next I decided to fill Siri in as the background but on a medium scale. I only had four repetitions of the set. Since I drew it into the background, some of the details are lost but it still looks decent.

Here is my tile before shading.

As always, I’m happy for shading to cover up my wonky lines. I really had to concentrate when I was drawing Siri and I’m certain I didn’t do it justice but I like the effect.

Here it is after shading.

I opted to make the loops of my string into solid shapes instead of empty ones.

Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate it when you leave comments.

If you are curious about my site, I write about life happenings on Fridays, raising kids on Thursdays, food on Tuesdays (I’ve change my lifestyle of eating to Trim Healthy Mama, which is a low glycemic way of eating), about marriage on Mondays, and of course, art on Wednesdays. I hope you’ll be blessed and encouraged by the content here.

Until next time, God bless,
