X Marks the Spot

Just a short post this week, I think I exhausted myself last week and I can't really think of any news today :-) 

The Diva's Challenge this week is to make a globe and then tangle it. I must be ahead of my time because if you remember I did a globe of Fassett last week!

I used a tan Zendala tile (or as near to tan as I can obtain) and Renaissance colours. For the X I used my own pattern Measles, and the two black patterns are Kinetic and Slice. I have to say I didn't enjoy this as much as an ordinary Zendala. I don't like the grids going into strange small shapes at the edges.

  6. Beautiful piece! The pattern choices are great, especially for dealing with those elongated outer shapes. I made the mistake of using a pattern or two that got really distorted at that point. Well done!

  11. Nice tangle choices I didn't think about the strange spaces at the end until it got so tiny it was hard to do anything.

  13. I think you've done a classy work and I like your Measles. I always thought of Measles as something I didn't want to catch, but it looks like fun! Have a brilliant day! Cheryl

  14. You did a great job, even with the small spaces at the edge. The colors are great and I really like your Measles - so much better than the real thing!

  15. No news is usually good news, so that says something for your week! I love how you used the black and brown inks to define the sections of your globe. The almost rosy look you have to the central cross is very pretty. I also love how you kept everything symmetrical. I know you were a bit frustrated with the distorted sections, but I think that is part of the fun - it looks great! Now I must look up your tangle Measles!

  16. More...I looked up your stepout for Measles, and I actually think I used it in my globe without even knowing you had this here! Great minds...
