Running 'round in circles

I often feel that way.

"I need to do this!"
"I forgot to call so-and-so!"
"I need to do that, too!"
"I'm late with... something!"
"I'm supposed to plan this thing!"
"I also need to plan that thing!"

Thus felt the DivaCZT on her recent wonderful, but whirlwind, family vacation. Thus her challenge this week: use circles. Any way. Any how.

I've always loved circles. For more than a decade I focused on mandala artwork, drawn, painted, and mixed media. So this challenge was right up my alley, and as often happens in that situation, I move from one idea to the next fairly quickly. I had the notion that we were to do concentric circles, so that's what I began with, often using a blind string.

My first tile was three circles in classic black on white.

Tangles: Black Pearlz, Paisley Boa, Pearlz, Prestwood, and
Tortuca, plus stripes, lines and Auras

Next I tried four circles in color.

Tangles: Black Pearlz, Diva Dance, Knase, Niuroda, Perfs,
Paisley Boa, Pearlz, and Wud plus lines and spirals

Third tile, a tan tile. I love working in browns on these tiles even though brown in definitely not my favorite color.

Tangles: Ennies, Paisley Boa, Pearlz, Snaylz, Tipple and more

I had really wanted to try Tina-Akua Hunziker's recent tangle Niuroda so I got out a zendala tile and went to town.

Back to black and white. I was quite taken with a pattern I'd seen earlier today of interlocking circles with Rounding at the intersections. It turns out it's Bublz from Lori Byerly.

Tangles: Black Pearlz, Bublz, Drupe, Ogen, Tipple
and circles with Rounding.

The broken apart Drupe in that previous tile gave me an idea: use tangles that are circular in format (or could be) and use only parts of them. Here's the result.

Tangles: Arukas, Cirqital, Daggerly, Drupe, Tipple, and Zonked
