The most wonderful surprise in all of this , has been finding such a warm and wonderful community built around this art form. Without exception those I have encountered are encouraging, friendly, generous of spirit, and great fun! Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome. I hope you will enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy yours.

Diva's Challenge #101 - Phicops

I love the Phicops tangle, by Laura's hubby, Brad. I think it's brilliant. It will go so well with organic, or geometric patterns, and those are the patterns I love!

It took a bit of practice to get this. I will be doodling around with it a lot, because I see so many possibilities. Thanks Brad, for the great new tangle!

For once, I have a tile ready before Saturday midnight. I have another, larger ZIA on the way, as well.

So, here's my first tile. I can hardly wait to see what everybody has done with this one!

Purk gave me some trouble, but I didn't have the heart just to ditch the tile. I like the way the rest of it turned out.


Here, (and it's only Wednesday!!) is my second ZIA for the challenge...




I love visiting around, every week, to as many entries as I possibly can, seeing everyone's blogs and enjoying their interpretation of the theme. I also love reading the comments, and commenting, myself. Please leave a comment. I love the positive and helpful messages I get.

Happy Tangling!

  5. Both tiles are great, and its good that you did the post the first one. I didn't even saw the purk, because my eyes were drawn to the phicops and the beans you made. Great.
