Weekly Challenge #377 - Fengle vs Poke Root

This week's Diva Challenge is a duotangle. Fengle and Poke Root. Neither are big favorites of mine, which means this challenge was a challenge. I played around a while and this is the best I could do. I just don't know how to make Poke Root interesting. I look forward to seeing what you guys have come up with. (I never peek before I post.)

Weekly Challenge #376 - String Theory

This week's Diva Challenge was for everyone to use the same string, and perhaps make four to create a mosaic. Never one to back down from a challenge, and what the heck it was a rainy day, so what else was there to do...


Top Left: Copada, Knyt, Fracas
Top Right: Aura Leah, Shattuck, (Grrr... messed up that one in the middle), Coil, Ahh
Bottom Left: Diva Dance, A-Fog, Florz, Pepper
Bottom Right: Phicops, Queen's Crown, Mooka/Laced (also wonky), and ------?

My question to you esteemed CZTs is how do you choose which tangles to use together? I'm kind of hit and miss on these. My Shattuck shouldn't have been next to Aura Leah. My A-Fog. was too similar to the Diva Dance. Is there a rule of thumb on how to choose which tangles to put adjacent to others? Weight, style, box vs. ribbon vs. organic? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
Duchess

Weekly Challenge #375 - Burtz

This week's Diva Challenge was to use "Burtz" in our tile. It seemed a little flat to me, so I curved it up a bit in a mandala-ish twist. Also used BB and Toodles.
