The Diva Challenge #227

As the Diva takes her well earned vacations, guest blogger Lee Darter challenged us  this week with the topic "Circus" for the challenge number 227 . My first thoughts were "ok...?". Then I checked the patterns and actually they looked fabulous!

Tropicana I have done before and I love the easiness of this pattern. You can make it in a straight line, wavy, crossing over and under. It reminds me on old Italy, actually, I imagine Florence, Rome, fancy Roman buildings.

Cack, I was not so sure about this one. It looked to me like one of these patterns I can do nothing with. Circles. Not my things. But actually it turned out fun. Maybe this won't be a tangle I use in every tile, but maybe we will see these fun little balls again. :)

The third pattern was a choice between Fescu, Flord and Linq. Tough one. I like all of them, but as I am someone who can not stand empty space, I choose Flord as it is a great filler. I admit I am a bit scared of Linq.

Anyway, this is what I came up with

I am actually happy. Maybe this is missing a bit of depth and finesse, but I am getting there. I think I need to do some more shading around the Cacks. But i think I will leave it the way it is for the time being and pick it up one day again.

I hope you like it at least a bit.

Cheerio!
