Metallic Tangling

We had guests last week so my tangling tackle had to be cleared away and I simply didn't have any free time to tangle on my knee. Of course it is all good because we had such fun. The weather was glorious and we had some lovely walks along the beach.

We have three islands just off the coast which people are always entranced by, here is Shenick Island which has the remains of a Martello Tower on it. At low tide you can walk across to this island, but you have to be quick because the tide comes in again very quickly.

Now that we, and most of our friends, have retired there seems to be a new game everyone likes to play. Several times lately we have been asked to get the blood pressure machine out to see who has the lowest blood pressure!! It is sad what our lives have been reduced to :-(

For the Diva's Challenge this week we have a guest CZT, Amy Broady, who has given us the challenge of using something metallic. My first thought was to rush out and buy a Kit Kat so that I could use the metallic wrapper to tangle on, but I have given up eating chocolate so I was very good and resisted. I suppose someone else could have eaten the Kit Kat, but that wouldn't have been fair -:( Instead I got some aluminium paper out of the kitchen drawer to use instead. I thought I would try using the Identi pen I was given for Christmas and managed to produce this:-

I decided that it was rather basic so I used the Vermal tangle around Amy's name to create this tile. The letters are drawn with a metallic gold pen.
