A Curvy Gridlock Challenge

Each week the Diva puts out a challenge for folks to make their representation of her idea. This week is the Weekly Challenge #15: “Duotangle: Diva Dance + Crescent Moon“. So here is what the Diva says “A Duotangle is a term coined here at casa Diva which describes a tile or ZIA created using only two tangles and their variations.”  So this is a ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art) created with only 2 tangles, including their variations.

Zentangle Enticed Me

Zentangle has become popular the last couple of years and I have been intrigued and just starting put my attention to it. I have already used the Cresent Moon before so I felt relatively confident about that one.  I knew what the Diva Dance was … there are 3 variations – Waltz, Foxtrot and Rock ‘n Roll.  I used all 3 variations here but in a very clumsy way. (in my opinion)

Which Tangle is Which?

The right hand part is the Crescent Moon part.  The left has the Diva Dances.  The top left is the Rock ‘n Roll going around in circles.  The bottom left is the Foxtrot with the straighter but bent lines.  The middle left going to the bottleneck is the Waltz in straightish lines.  I can see now a much better way to minimize my signature, but hindsight is 20/20 as they say.  Also I am not feeling very well so I drew this lying down.  I wish my piece was cleaner cut, but this is what I could do today! I would like to be able to do this better!

I have been slowly sharing my other ones on Facebook. I changed to using Art Card size (2.5×3.5″) since I have a bunch cut out already from good quality paper. It might not be as smooth as it should be. But I am learning! And my studio is getting more organized so maybe I can cut some new paper!!  I can’t wait to find my black paper and do some cutting!
