Diva Challenge #243 was to keep things simple and "leave the majority of the tile empty." So I did. I just used my own tangle, Miss Fisher, and a tiny bit of Mysst, along with a few random other lines. Colored with the Rainbow Lead Pencil. Very simple. And easy. I think I will try a few more tiles in this fashion today if I have a chance (and I did, at the bottom of this post). I'm not sure if "Miss Fisher" actually qualifies as a tangle, since if memory serves me right, a tangle is defined as being formed with no more than three lines. (I'll have to look that up) But I like it anyway. It's based on a stenciled decoration in the living room of the PBS-sponsored mystery series of the same name. Ok, off to do some yarn dyeing, which is my main goal for today. With the exception of the last skein, the dark purple skein, I was focused on lighter colors today. And in so doing, I learned a lot. I'll say more about that next time I post, once these skeins have dried and I've had a chance to wind them up so they look more presentable. Finally, another "simple tangle" for the Diva's Challenge? Tangles are Mooka and Niuroda with a few embellishments. I enjoyed the simplicity of this challenge. Now I get to go to the Diva's site and see what everyone else did with this, and I know there will be wonderful tangles to see there. All in all, a very good day--I'm exhausted!

Beautifully done, and your colours are beautifully reflected in the dye colours of the yarn!

Many thanks, Jennifer. 11/16/2015 03:51:34 am
I see I'm not the only one who thinks Mooka belongs on a minimalist tile. (Great minds). I don't know if "Miss Fisher" follows the Mother Ship tangle rules, but I can picture the wallpaper even though I never watched the series. PS: It turns out you're not the only person who shares my opinion of the NJ Turnpike. :)

Ha! I suspect anyone who drives that Turnpike feels the same way. Sigh. 11/16/2015 04:58:07 pm
Both tiles are very pretty - your minimalism is still complete.
