Diva challenge #66- Laura's Auras

The Diva challenge for this week is to use tangle patterns that have auras, or parallel outlines that radiate outward from the original lines of the pattern. I almost didn't do this one, and I'm so glad I did... 'cause guess who's gonna use Antidot to make Christmas trees on cards this year??? THIS ONE. *searches for glitter*

Never would have thought of it on my own!

the hand jive

I tried my hand at a new challenge today. Pun intended. Can't say I love the result (mostly because the way I strung it removes all semblance of bone structure and makes it look like a pudgy alien hand), but at least it's kind of interesting to look at. I like the footlite at the top. It's also my first SUCCESSFUL use of betweed! Sooo... that's better than a whack on the nose with a rusty poker.

Two points to you and a chocolate frog if you can tell me where that quote came from. ho ho ho.

weekly Challenge #64: String Theory v. VIII 'Fortuneteller'

The Diva hath thrown down the gauntlet... and here is my first-ever submission to her Weekly Challenge! <insert angels singing here>

The challenge: To use a predetermined string (that's tanglespeak for 'those little pencil lines that separate the different patterns') and find a way to add in/blend together random patterns in such a way that the final result does not suck.

If you would like to read more information on the Diva's weekly challenges, roll on over to that little button in my sidebar and you'll see one that looks appropriate. I'm not going to tell you which button it is. Think of it as a little sidebar-button scavenger hunt. Now, go! Go forth and discover!
