Spiral designs are the subject of the Diva Challenge this week.  I used to fear spirals until I found a line drawing tutorial which showed some great spiral techniques by Simone Bischoff.  Here is the page.  I couldn't resist adding my new favorite tangle Narwal.

The Diva Challenge this week is to use a touch of green in honour of St. Patrick's Day.  The first two tiles I did this week didn't work out, too cluttered and just all wrong.  I didn't think I would complete anything in time.  Then while browsing the submissions for the week I discovered the tangle called Narwal on Margaret Bremner's site.  It was love at first sight and I had to try it.  This tangle is organic, quirky and fun and I thank you Margaret for bringing it to my attention.  The link for Narwal is here.

Hello everyone...I have been away from this blog for a long time.  What brings me back is a long lived case of the flu which has caused me to be housebound for ages.  I'm not sure why this has caused me to bring out the art supplies as I thoroughly enjoy all forms of artistic expression, maybe just too many other artistic interests going on right now.  Anyway, the Diva challenge this week is to create a duo-tangle using Pokeroot and cubine.  These are two of my favorites and it was so much fun to work with them together.

And now here is the coloured version.
