Diva Challenge 118: Kuke

Hello again :) I hope everyone is having an amazing week. My interview went *very* well this past week. I did have to take two assessments while I was there. The first one was the Wonderlic test and I found it to be relatively easy. I don't remember the name of the second but it was really hard and I'm not sure how I did :( It was LSAT style questions and those are always hit or miss with me. The problem is that I over analyze the question and I let it stress me out. But it is what it is and I can't go back and retake it so hopefully I scored well enough that I'll still be able to go to the next interview step.

This week Laura had us try Kathy Abbot's tangle Kuke. This tangle is really fun to me and it makes me think of spring so I wanted to do a colorful tile. Below is my quick drawing I did this afternoon:

Yes, that is Indyrella which I made a point of saying I didn't like a few weeks ago.
I revoke that statement. It has slowly grown on me. I think the problem before
was trying to make it a monotangle. To me it really needs other tangles to work.

My normal style is black and white and I was curious what this would have looked like without color so I decided to play around a little with a photo editor:


Pretty neat. I can't decide which one I like better. I am definitely going to try Kuke again at some point this week and I'll be posting whatever I come up with and I can't wait to see all the other creations this week!

    Your comments are going to cause me to go try Indyrella again also. I didn't get it an seminar #10, lol. On your two versions of your tile, I will say while both of them are lovely, I think I like the black and white the best. Not sure why that is. I do love color; but when I look at my own tiles/zias, I have to admit my best work in my opinion is the black and white. Wonder why that is? Looking forward to seeing more of your art. Hugs; Linda

      Thanks Linda :) I'm so glad you're going to try Indyrella again. That's one of the things that I love about challenges. It forces you try tangles you never would have tried before or to go back and try again. I hope you have time to submit an entry for this week!

      Oh I fail. I accidentally looked at your blogs that you follow instead of going to your wordpress page. You did already submit an entry! And they are lovely. I especially love your first one.

    Two totally different feels, the color gives a graphic offset look and feel to your tile. Kuke and Indyrella look Fab together.

    Very festive. Like the combination of Kuke and Indy-rella. You did a great job with both. Think that with Indy-rella, I have to remember to keep my strokes deliberate. If I don't it does not flow as well.
