Catching up, again!

I must apologize for my absence over the past 5 weeks, which have been exceptionally turbulent with unexpected good-byes to some dear friends and changes in our normal routine.  Life is good. I am grateful.

Diva Challenge #330: Plates

I had not used a plate string since my obsession with them a few months back. I enjoyed doing this one on a background of Orange d'Espagne and Lilac Prismacolors, with a copper Jelly Roll.

Diva Challenge #329: Reticula and Fragment D-2

As some of you may know, I have a terrible sense of "proprioception", or knowing where I am in space. (Laugh heartily here.) In yoga class, I'm always the one turned the wrong way, or helplessly looking around me to see how I should be positioned. In PE class, when we learned to tumble, I always went off the mat. I tell you this because when anyone mentions flipping and rotating and mirroring images, I break into a cold sweat. Using the D-2 fragment for this tile gave me a chance to chill and S  L  O  W     D  O  W  N.

Diva Challenge #328: Aloha

I really love the flow of the Aloha tangle, which looks like a pen did a hula dance. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I got it, I didn't want to stop, so I switched to a silver pen and did some more in the background.

Diva Challenge #327: Lisbon Fragment

Another fragment, although less spinny than the previous one! I had trouble keeping the lines straight and matching them up, but had fun trying! A nice high-focus tangle!

And Zen some...
