#183 Diva Challenge: UMT X-Did

Hello Fellow Tanglers,

I love Annette Carlo's artwork.  I was so excited to see her pattern as this week's UMT on I am the Diva .  Her tangles are always wonderful and her inchies are fabulous.  (If you get here Annette, I couldn't post a comment on your blog again.  Your Vitruvian Man is inspired for the word Renaissance and your drawing is great.)

But I found this tangle difficult to get my brain and fingers around for some reason.  I think I just need more practice but let's blame the rain.  It definitely rained on my parade today.  Just as I was going out the door it started to pour, so being the wimp that I am, I promptly turned around and went back inside.  (I hate maneuvering my four foot scooter in and out of the van in a deluge.  It's not fun and I always end up drenched.)

So I decided to get outside that 3.5 inch square box and remind myself that where there is rain, there is also rainbows. 




To do Annette's pattern the justice it deserves, I may post another after I practise a bit more.  Happy tangling.

  1. Kia, this is beautiful!!! I think you did this tangle more than justice!!! Yours and the other tiles that I have seen so far, lend to such different depiction of 'X-DID'! You are such a sweet heart, thank you for all your comments!! ( I sure wish I was more computer savvy to know why the comment area is not working on my blog) When you use the google + I do always get your messages though. I sure wish you can send some of that rain my way. We have had nothing but 'HOT' weather here, Yuk, I'm done with it!!! Have a great rest of the week, and enjoy your rainbows!!! :0) Annette Share Humanity

  4. You have given me all sorts of ideas for using this pattern. I like your use of colour and it was a clever idea to use Rain as the additional pattern, like it lots.
