Diva's Challenge #226

This week's guest blogger is Katie Crommett, also a Certified Zentangle Teacher. It's always nice to meet new people :-) so I took a look around at her blog. There I saw her latest new pattern, called Daviso. As Katie mentions herself, it's so simple and recognizable!

Well, this sounds like a perfect tangle to use in the challenges she gives us at the Diva blog: practice the art of simplicity. 'Be conscious of when you've reached your point of "enoughness".'

As you can see below, three patterns was quite enough to me to 'fill' string 128. I used Daviso, Weave and Beelight.

Thanks for visiting my blog! I really loved reading your comments in the past weeks :-)

    Hi Ilse! Thanks for visiting AND for trying out the new tangle! I love your composition and shading. It brings such a striking but soft look to your tile!

    I really like how your tangles are completely separate and yet make such a pleasing composition. Nice, Ilse!

    A wonderful Tile, Ilse. Daviso is a beautiful pattern, and I love how you worked it into your string with the other patterns. Beautiful shading, too.

    You conquered the negative space and used it to enhance your composition. I'm finding that using "nothing" is not so easy a skill to master. Good job.

    Wederom een prachtige tile Ilse. De eenvoud van slechts 3 tangles in je string geeft je uiteindelijk werk een sterke uitstraling. Leuk dat je de nieuwe tangle van Katie hebt gebruikt. Ziet er toppie uit!

    Clean, bold, and I love the way they are so very different and separate, yet go so well together! Very nice.

    What a beautiful tile and it meets the challenge so well. I especially like the way you used the string, leaving the space in the middle blank. That emphasizes the idea of simplicity even more.

    I have gotten away from using strings. You used yours well.
