8's Parte Dos



Another Monday, another challenge at I am the Diva
This week we were challenged to do one of my favorite tangles,
8's Parte Dos.

I love the look of this tangle but always have a tough time putting it with any
other tangles.  I am anxious to see what you all come up with.

And for you Laura, as winter approaches the Skatch, a view from my lanai.

Indeed your flowers are beautiful. As for the challenge, I like the frame your draw all around the 8s. Your 8s motif is just perfect!! I like the 3d effect.

Nice job on the Diva Challenge. This tangle is a challenge for me too. Just spent the last hour trying to get a handle on the best way to draw this one. By the way, your orchids are gorgeous!

Love the way you added the rope edging to the out side. Your orchids are so lovely! I wish I could grow more of the varieties up here in MN. I do have a few Phalaenopsis inside.

Great way to frame your tangle. And I am so jealous of your lanai with the beautiful flowers!!!

Your 8s Parte Dos is really nice! So precise! And your orchids...omg! My Phalaenopsis inside has no blossom, but has two new leaves! I'm so proud of it! But yours are really fantastic!!
