Diva Challenge #104

The challenge this week from Laura at I am the Diva is to use a predefined string, I haven't used a string for a while as most of my pieces have been ZIAs recently so it was nice to do this for a change.



The angular shapes in this string made me think of paradox immediately, so that was my first attempt.
When the paradox is done together you loose the string in the effect.



Paradox, Crescent Moon, Ahh

For my second attempt I used Auraknot, another favourite tangle of mine and a bit more unusual to use it with a string. I have never tried this before.

    Both are stunning. I think I would have gotten lost trying to do Auraknot like you did. Nice job.

    Ohhhh, NEAT! Great ways to handle this string.! (Now I want to try it on my own...) And I love the addition of one or two simple tangles to finish it off. Well done!
