Following an old Chinese proverb, “An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.” the diva challenged us to start our tangle with a “Red Thread”:

For this week’s challenge, the diva instructed us to start a tile using three basic shapes; a square, a circle, and a triangle. I tried using some tangles that were new to me, and here are my efforts:

This week, the diva has challenged us with “Lest We Forget” in honor of the Canadian “Rememberance Day” and our “Veteran’s Day”. We were challenged to simply remember. I followed the diva’s choice of drawing poppies based on the poem “Flanders Field”:

This week, the diva challenged us to do a tile using two tangles, Jonqual and Opus:

Today is the International Day Of Peace.  So, for this week, the Diva has challenged us with the theme “Pinwheels For Peace”.
